Can Someone get me started on the nuggets problem 1? Please, Not sure where to start.

Question

anonymous · Answer

Just answer the first part by trial and error.   How many 6-packs, 9-packs, and 20-packs can I buy to get exactly 50 (etc.)  nuggets.

For example, for 21 nuggets:

21 = 9 + 6 + 6

So I could get to 21 nuggets by buying 2 6-packs,  1 9-pack, and 0 20-packs.

Now find sets of numbers that will work for 50, 51, ... 55

Okay 50 would be 2 9-packs, 2 6-packs, 1 20-pack

For 51 you will have 5 9-packs, 1 6-pack, 0 20-packs

For 52 you will have  0 9-packs, 2 6-packs, 2 20-packs

For 53 I don't beileve there is a combo

For 54 you will have 0 9-packs, 9 6-packs, 0 20-packs
or  4 9-packs, 2 6-packs, 0 20-packs

For 55 I don't believe there is a combo
