Ms. Alvero is ordering copies of All Quiet on the Western Front for the literature class that she teaches. She can order hardcover copies for $18 each or paperback copies for $7 each. In all, she needs to order at least 32 copies of the book, and she has a budget of $300.
Which of the following combinations of hardcover and paperback copies can Ms. Alvero order?
9 hardcover copies and 23 paperback copies
7 hardcover copies and 24 paperback copies
7 hardcover copies and 25 paperback copies
6 hardcover copies and 26 paperback copies

Answer

6 hardcover copies and 26 paperback copies. This gives 6 + 26 = 32 copies and costs 6 × $18 + 26 × $7 = $290, within the $300 budget.

The other choices fail: 9 hardcover and 23 paperback cost $323; 7 hardcover and 24 paperback total only 31 copies; 7 hardcover and 25 paperback cost $301.
