Before lunch, the kitchen had 11 cases plus 3 cans or 11%2A24%2B3 cans=267 cans.
After lunch, the kitchen had 6 cases or 6%2A24 cans= 144 cans.
They sold the difference.
N=264-144=120
They sold 120 cans of juice.

11*24+3=264+3=267 cans of juice before lunch.
6*24=144 cans of juice after lunch.
267-144=123 cans of juice were sold during lunch.
