What could she buy if she wanted to spend all her money?

----------

Leo, Kai, Sara and Harry went into the shop too. They each had 20¢ to spend and they all spent all of their money.

Leo bought at least one of each kind of sweet. Which one did he have two of?

Kai spent his money on just one kind of sweet, but he does not like cola bottles. Which sweets did he buy?

Sara bought the same number of sweets as Kai but she had 3 different kinds. Which sweets did she buy?

Harry chose 8 sweets. What could he have bought?
