Lets consider option (1) :
This option only tells us about the number of items but nothing about the cost. Thus we cannot use this to comment on the cost however it might be useful to keep this in mind that she has 5 items in the bag.
Lets consider option (2) :
This options tells us only about the max cost but not about the number of items. For total price we need : a) cost of each item b) number of items.
This option however tells us about the costliest thing in the bag.
Now consider 1 and 2 together :
If we assume that all items have the same cost and that cost is equal to the costliest item in the bag then we will get the max cost of the bag.
Max cost = Costliest item's price * number of items
= 4.99 * 5
= $24.95
Now Max cost < $ 25
thus the price of the bag is less than $25.
Hence the answer would be : C
PS :kudos if you liked the answer

(1) There are 5 items in Andrea's shopping cart.
(2) The price of the most expensive item in Andrea's shopping cart is $4.99
Ans - C
Statement 1 :- There are 5 items in Andrea's shopping cart.
Consider all the items are priced at $1 each, therefore total price($5) is less than $25.
Now consider all the items are priced at $7 each, therefore total price ($35) is more than $25.
Thus, Statement 1 is insufficient
Statement 2:- The price of the most expensive item in Andrea's shopping cart is $4.99
Let there is only 1 items in the cart, then total price($4.99) is less than $25.
Now, let there are 10 items in the cart and each costs $4.99, then total cost($49.9) is more than $25.
Thus, Statement 2 is insufficient
Combining 1 and 2,
Consider all the 5 items are of maximum price i.e. $4.99 each.
Then also maximum total price($24.95) is less than $25.
Therefore, Sufficient

This was pretty simple.
Statement 1 gives one variable and statement 2 gives one variable. Individually they don't give much information; however, together they give you the maximum Andrea's shopping cart's total be.

Both the Stmts have single variable. Combining them will give us answer. C

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Determine if the total price of the items in Andrea’s shopping cart is less than $25.00.
(1) Given that there are 5 items in Andrea’s shopping cart, it is possible that the total price of the items is less than $25.00 (e.g., the price of each of the 5 items is $4.00) and it is possible that the total price of the items is not less than $25.00 (e.g., the price of each of the 5 items is $5.00); NOT sufficient.
(2) Given that the most expensive item in Andrea’s shopping cart is $4.99, it is possible that the total price of the items is less than $25.00 (e.g., there are only 2 items, each priced at $4.99) and it is possible that the total price of the items is not less than $25.00 (e.g., there are 10 items, each priced at $4.99); NOT sufficient.
Given (1) and (2) together, the total price of the items is at most 5($4.99), which in turn is less than 5($5.00) = $25.00.
The correct answer is C; both statements together are sufficient.
