7 0

6/7p because 6 cases divided by 7 restuarants

6 cases ordered
'p' jars in each case
Total number of jars is (6 cases) x (p jars/case) = 6p jars

Split 7 ways, each restaurant gets (1/7) of the total order = 6p/7 jars.

I sure hope 'p' is a multiple of 7, or else Harrison might
need to deal with the number of pickles in each jar.
