Which of the following pairs of cities will not put Jenny back under budget if she drops them?
B
Izhevsk and Nizhny NovgorodC
Novosibirsk and Saint PetersburgThe total cost of visiting all eight cities is RUB 43,672. To get under the RUB 33,000 budget, Jenny must cut more than RUB 10,672. Dropping Yaroslavl and Tolyatti saves RUB 4,901 + RUB 5,598 = RUB 10,499, leaving her with RUB 33,173, which is still over budget. So Yaroslavl and Tolyatti are the pair that will not put her back under budget.
