A) 3,108 B) 3,100 C) 3,108 D) 3,540 E) 3,256

Rationale: to maximize number of hot dogs with 300 $ total number of hot dogs bought in 250 - pack = 20.95 * 14 = 293.30 $ amount remaining = 300 - 293.30 = 6.7 $ total number of hot dogs bought in 20 - pack = 3.05 * 2 = 6.10 $ amount remaining = 6.70 - 6.10 = 0.6 $ this amount is too less to buy any 8 - pack . greatest number of hot dogs one can buy with 300 $ = 250 * 14 + 20 * 2 = 3,540 answer d
