46 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

First 10 boxes can be bought for 7.5*10=75

Next 10 boxes can be bought for 5.5*10=55

So for a total of 20 boxes, the cost is 75+55=130

We have remaining 221-130=91

Each additional box costs 3.5, so for 91 dollars, we can get:

$\frac{91}{3.5}=26$ boxes

So, total 10+10+26=46 boxes can be bought for $221.00
