To determine which combination allows Liam and his friends to raise at least $300 while keeping the total items sold to a maximum of 80, we will calculate the total amount raised for each option.

  1. Thirty cookies and twenty-five muffins:

    • Cookies: 30 * $3 = $90
    • Muffins: 25 * $5 = $125
    • Total raised = $90 + $125 = $215
    • Total items = 30 + 25 = 55
  2. Forty cookies and twenty muffins:

    • Cookies: 40 * $3 = $120
    • Muffins: 20 * $5 = $100
    • Total raised = $120 + $100 = $220
    • Total items = 40 + 20 = 60
  3. Fifty cookies and thirty muffins:

    • Cookies: 50 * $3 = $150
    • Muffins: 30 * $5 = $150
    • Total raised = $150 + $150 = $300
    • Total items = 50 + 30 = 80
  4. Twenty-five cookies and thirty muffins:

    • Cookies: 25 * $3 = $75
    • Muffins: 30 * $5 = $150
    • Total raised = $75 + $150 = $225
    • Total items = 25 + 30 = 55

From these calculations, the only combination that allows Liam and his friends to raise at least $300 while keeping the total items sold to a maximum of 80 is:

Fifty cookies and thirty muffins.
