You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If 30 people drink 2 cans each, then she needs 60 cans.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since \"she can buy six cans for $2.10\", and she needs 60 cans, she's going to need to buy 10 cases (since 6*10 = 60) which will cost 10*2.1 = 21 dollars total.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since $21 is more than $20, she does NOT have enough. \r
