-Exact change to buy 12 red candy, 14 green candy, 15 blue candy, or n purple candy. Purple candy cost 20 cents, what is the minimum number of n?
-==Solution==
-We simply need to find a value of 20*n that divides 12, 14, and 15. 20*18 divides 12 and 15, but not 14. 20*21 successfully divides 12, 14 and 15, meaning that we have exact change (in this case, 420 cents) to buy each type of candy, so the minimum value of <math>\boxed{n = 21}</math>. -zachc16
