Answer:

We can make 14 jackets

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion to solve.  Put the number of bottles over the number of jackets

20 bottles      280 bottles

---------------- = --------------

1 jacket            x jackets

Using cross products

20x = 280

Divide by 20

20x/20 = 280/20

x =14

We can make 14 jackets
