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.
