Question 624901: A car with 5 passengers stops for gas. While the tank fills, one passenger volunteers
to get drinks and snacks for everyone in the car. Three passengers want bottles of Vitamin Water
and Cliff bars, two passengers want bottles of Dr. Pepper and Doritos, and everyone agrees that the
buyer should get as many bags of Skittles as possible. The passengers hand the buyer a total of

bottle, Doritos are $0:99 each, and Skittles cost 88 cents per bag, how many bags of Skittles can the
