The price for a cup of tea is:
+600+%2F+24+=+25+
rs. 25

8 cups of tea costs:
+8%2A25+=+200+
rs.200
--------------
That leaves him with:
+2200+-+200+=+2000+
rs.2000
---------------
The price of a cup of coffee is:
+1000%2F15+=+66.667+
rs.66.667

He can purchase:
+2000+%2F+66.667+=+30+
He can purchase a maximum of 30
