$Minimum\ Items = 13$

Required

Determine the items Lonnie can afford

To solve this question, we make use of trial by error method by taking the options one at a time:

Option 1: 6 movies and 4 video games

This option can not be considered because the number of items is not up to the minimum Lonnte must purchase.

Option 2: 14 movies and 7 video games

$Cost = 14 * \ 20 + 7 * \ 50$

$Cost = \ 280 + \ 350$

$Cost = \ 630$

This option can not be considered because the cost of purchase is greater than Lonnte's worth of Gift card.

Option 3: 2 movies and 10 video games

This option can not be considered because the number of items is not up to the minimum Lonnte must purchase.

Option 4: 8 movies and 6 video games

$Cost = 8 * \ 20 + 6 * \ 50$

$Cost = \ 160 + \ 300$

$Cost = \ 460$

Hence, the correct option is 8 movies and 6 video games
