First, consider that if he cost of 6 uniforms was $90, then, the cost per uniform is:

$90/6 = $15

After the bought of the 6 uniforms, the money the coach has is:

$200 - $90 = $110

the cost of 8 uniforms is:

8 x $15 = $120

$120 is more than the coach has to buy the 8 uniforms.

Hence, there is no enough money to buy 8 uniforms.
