Question

Larry has a gift card worth $400 for a local entertainment store. Movies cost $20 each and newly released video games cost $50 each. In order to use the gift card, Larry must purchase at least nine items. Which is a combination of movies and newly released video games that Larry could purchase using his gift card?

Answer 1

10 movies and 5 video games
$200 + $200 = $400 and 15 items

Answer 2

Yes, of course they are all equal to 400. That's the whole point of the question - to spend the $400 gift card and get the most number of things.

Take b as an example.
10 movies = $200
4 video games = $200
That's 14 items.

But c is 20 items for the same $400. 20 is more than 14.
a is 11 items, d is 17 items. 20 is more than all of them.

This isn't hard, just stop and THINK about it a second.

Answer 3

Ahh yeah 4 games my bad
