Answer 1

You can buy 3 shirts using your coupon and money. Here's the breakdown:

Cost of 1 shirt: $11
Coupon discount: $6

Total cost for 1 shirt: $11 - $6 = $5

Remaining money after buying 1 shirt: $27 - $5 = $22

Dividing the remaining money by the cost of 1 shirt:

$22 / $5 = 4.4

Since you cannot buy a fraction of a shirt, you can buy a maximum of 3 shirts.
