Maximum number of caps that Kevin can buy is 10.

Solution:

Total money for shopping = $320

Amount spent for video game = $156

Remaining amount that Kevin had = $320 – $156

= $164

Cost of each cap including tax = $15

$\text{Number of caps can buy }=\frac{\text { Remaining amount that Kevin had }}{\text { cost of each cap }}$

$$=\frac{164}{15}$

$$=10\frac{14}{15}$

Maximum number of caps that Kevin can buy is 10.
