Answer:

The answer is A (25, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:.

The question mentions "purchasing the most items" which means we want as many items as possible. Usually the question would imply how much of BOTH you can get for that price, but it is being specific to amount for that price.

Answer:(B)

Explanation:

so the Movie is 20$ and the games are 50$ you can buy 2 games because 50+50=100 and 500-100=400.Next,the Movie is 20$ so you can do 400/2=20 and thats your answer because youy cant use no more money in the card.
