Step 1
Note: the number of bags of tea in a case is irrelevant to this question.

$\to 1\phantom{\rule{1ex}{0ex}}\text{gold coin}=\frac{1}{15}\phantom{\rule{1ex}{0ex}}\text{cases}$
(temporally assume fractional case purchases are possible)
$\to 200\phantom{\rule{1ex}{0ex}}\text{gold coins}=\frac{200}{15}\phantom{\rule{1ex}{0ex}}\text{cases}=13\frac{1}{3}\phantom{\rule{1ex}{0ex}}\text{cases}$
If it is only possible to buy complete cases, 200 gold coins would allow the purchase of at most 13 cases.
