Question 286570: chicken nuggets come in boxes of 6, 9 and 20. Thus it is possible to purchase exactly 15 nuggets but impossible to purchase exactly 14 nuggets. what integral quantities other than 14 are "impossible"?
Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Sorry but you have to put an upper limit on these integers since the integers never end.
1,2,3,4,5,7,8,10,11,13,16,17,19,etc
multiples of 6,9,and 20 are possible plus combos of 9 and 6 and 20
6*x+9*y+20*z are all possible where x, y, or z can equal zero
