Answer: Zasha spent $6 on packages of gum, which means that she bought 6 / $1.20 = 5 packages of gum.

If she has a $20 bill, she has $20 - $6 = $14 left to spend on gum.

Zasha can buy an additional 14 / $1.20 = 11.6666666666666666666666667 packages of gum with this money.

Rounded down, Zasha can buy an additional 11 packages of gum.

Therefore, Zasha can buy a total of 5 + 11 = 16 packages of gum.
