"A restaurant menu includes orders of 6,9, and 20 cheese sticks. To get 15 sticks, you can order 6 and 9 sticks. You cannot order 16 sticks, because no combination of 6, 9, or 20 adds to 16. What is the largest number of sticks that you cannot order?"

I don't know where to begin with this because I'm not sure I understand exactly what its asking.
