Soda Quota - Problem of the Week [on hold]
$begingroup$
You are in charge of buying soda in large bottles for the Awards Banquet at
the end of the season.
Coach Smith has given you these directions:
You must buy 40 bottles.
You may spend no more than $65.
The brand name sodas that most of the athletes like best sell for 1.80 a
bottle. The off-brand soda, which is OK, but not great, sells for 1.25 a
bottle. You want to get as much of the good soda as you can and still follow
your coach’s directions. How many of each kind of soda can you buy?

This looks like algebra homework, not a puzzle within the context of this SE...

And unfortunately two PSE users thought it was a good idea to do someone's homework for them.

@EmmaVL, could you clarify whether the puzzles you've been posting are your own creation or come from somewhere else? Thanks.
