Let a can of beer = C &. A bottle of beer = B
Given: 1C+1.5B=?......... (1)
B+C=15 ............ (2)
To FIND: B=?
1) 1C+1.5B=18 (The given statement 1 is completed here, we can now use eq (1) & (2) to find the answer)
(15-B)+1.5B=15
B= 6
SUFFICIENT
2) C=3+B (we can solve this eq with given (2) to find answer, sufficient)
Either (1) or (2) alone is sufficient to answer.
(D)

The question says how many bottles of beer did Kevin buy.
The question also says he bought a total of 15 bottles and cans of beer.
Assume that no of cans is C and no of bottles is B. The second option says that Kevin bought "3 more cans of beer than bottles of beer". Hence we get C=B+3.
And from the question we already know that C+B=15. Substituting, we get B+B+3=15.
Solving this we get the no of beer cans and bottles. So isn't option B the correct one?
Bunuel, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks
