Answer:

1 box of 20 and 1 box of 14

They will cost $410

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find how many boxes of 20 DVD movies can be bought

415 - 240 = 175

1 box of 20 DVD movies can be sold

2. Find how many boxes of 14 DVD movies can be bought from $175

175 - 170 = 5

1 box of 14 DVD movies can be bought

3. Find the cost

240 + 170 = 410
