Oliver is catering a dinner party for more than 22 guests. Each guest has a choice between a

vegetarian dinner or a steak dinner. The vegetarian dinner is $20 per plate and the steak dinner is $30
per plate. Oliver can spend no more than $610 on the entire party. If Oliver wants to purchase the
most amount of food and still stay within budget, which combination of vegetarian and steak dinners is
optimal?

13 steak dinners and 11 vegetarian dinners

11x20=220 13x30=390

390+220= $610

13+11= 24 guests
