A pieman was selling 3 oz. tarts for 20 cents each and 5 oz. tarts for 24 cents each. Simon showed the pieman that he had only $1.50. Then, he told the pieman that his diet would not allow him to have more than 29 oz. of tart per day. The pieman was interested in getting as much of Simon's $1.50 as possible, so what did he offer to sell him? Simon wanted to get as much of his allotted 29 oz. of tart as he could for $1.50, so what did he buy?
