Sumatra sells avocados, cauliflower, and pineapples to pay his rent. He sells avocados at $4 apiece, cauliflower at $2 apiece, and pineapples at $10 apiece. He sells 1 pineapple for every 5 avocados plus 3 times the number of cauliflower he sells.

Sumatra's rent is $800. What is the least number of cauliflower he must sell if he sold 35 apples?
