    21, 9) = 21*$20+9*$35=$735

    It is at least 30 pieces of equipment, but he can buy more equipment and still be within his budge.

    (29, 1) = 29*$20+1*$35=$615

    It is at least 30 pieces of equipment, but he can buy more equipment and still be within his budge.

    (40, 2) = 40*$20+2*$35=$870

    He has more thn 30 pieces of equipment, and he is at his budge.

    (33, 6) = 33*$20+6*$35=$870

    He has more thn 30 pieces of equipment, and he is at his budge. This combination is better because it allows him to have more bats available to his team. So this one is optimal.
