At the wholesale store you can buy an 8-pack of hot dogs for $1.55, a 20-pack for $3.05, and a 300-pack for $22.95. What is the greatest number of hot dogs you can buy at this store with $200?	Choose the most appropriate option.
A) 1,108 B) 2,500 C) 2,108 D) 2,124 E) 2,256

Rationale: "we have $ 200 and we have to maximize the number of hot dogs that we can buy with this amount . let ' s try to find out what is the maximum number of hot dogs that we can buy for a lesser amount of money , which in this case is 300 for $ 22.95 . for the sake of calculation , let ' s take $ 23 . 23 x 8 gives 184 , i . e . a total of 300 x 8 = 2400 hot dogs . we are left with ~ $ 16 . similarly , let ' s use $ 3 for calculation . we can buy 5 20 - pack hot dogs ( 3 x 5 ) , a total of 20 x 5 = 100 hot dogs . so we have 2500 hot dogs . 2108 looks far - fetched ( since we are not likely to be left with > $ 1.55 ) . hence , ( b ) 2500 ( answer b )"
