Know the Answer?

Esperanza Kerr · Answer 1

For this one u have to divide 840 by 20:

840:20=42

The closest to dat is C. 41.

I hope this xplains it, instead of just giving u an answer with no xplanation.

The answer is none. You could get 42 helmets. So I guess the max is 41 because it is lower than 42 but is is still pretty close
