Answer 1

If the manager has only $415, he must try to get the deal in which he gets the greatest amount of DVDs for the leats price, which is the 25 DVDs for 230 because the unit price per DVD is less than in the other deal.

However if he gets that deal

`415-230=185`

he still has enough money to get 1 box of DVDs from the other deal

`185-170=15`

According to this the manager can get 1 box of 25 DVDs and 1 box of 12 DVDs.

It is gointgo cost him $400 for the buying of the DVDs.

`230+170=400`
