Question

A certain popular fast-food chain sells its trademark chicken nuggets in packs of 6, 9, or 20 (or at least it used to). Thus, it is possible for one to purchase 15 nuggets by buying a pack of 6 and another pack of 9 nuggets, or 60 nuggets by buying 3 packs of 20 nuggets or 10 packs of 6 nuggets. However, it is not possible to buy 7 nuggets as no combination of packs of nuggets provides that amount of nuggets.
