Let Standard Quantity = s and Premium Quantity = p
From the prompt,
30s+ 50p = 1100
25<=s+p<=30
To find min quantity of premium(p),standard (s) must be maximised.
Testing answers, Assume y = 1, then 30s + 50 =1100 , s = 35
The sum of s and p falls outside the limit of 30, hence this option is incorrect.
Assume p = 10, then 30s + 500 = 1100 , s= 20
The sum of p and s is within the given limits, hence this is the minimum. CORRECT
To find max of p, s must be minimised.
Testing answers, assume s =1 , then 50y = 1070 , this answer is not an integer hence incorrect.
Assume s= 10, then
300 + 50y = 1100 , then y = 16
this is the lowest value of s for which the criteria given is met and the lowest value of s maximises P hence CORRECT

A corporate event planner is purchasing gift baskets for an upcoming gala. She will purchase a combination of standard baskets, which cost $30 each, and premium baskets, which cost $50 each. Her total budget for the gift baskets is exactly $1,100, all of which must be spent on these two items. To ensure every VIP receives a basket without overstocking the display tables, the total number of baskets purchased (standard and premium combined) must be at least 25 but no more than 30.
In the table below, identify the
Minimum possible number of premium baskets the planner could purchase, and the
Maximum possible number of premium baskets the planner could purchase. Make only two selections, one in each column.
