Answer: 11 party bags with 1 sticker leftover

Each bag contains 4 bubbles, 8 stickers, and 5 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the GCF of 44 (bubbles), 89 (stickers), and 55 (pencils)

44: 2 x 2 x 11

89: prime so choose 88 with 1 leftover

88: 2 x 2 x 2 x 11

55: 5 x 11

GCF = 11

Disregard the GCF to see how many of that item should go in each bag.

Bubbles: 2 x 2

Stickers: 2 x 2 x 2

Pencils: 5
