Answer:

6 pens

2 pencils

1 eraser in each gift bag

Most number of Gift Bags = 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

There will be some bags left over. The limiting factor is the erasers. At most, you can have 27 erasers and therefore 27 gift bags.

171 pens: 171/27 = 6 (you have to round down). The number of pens left over is 9.

(27*6 = 162)

171 - 162 = 9

63 Pencils: 63/27 = 2 pencils per gift bag. There will be

63 - 2*27

63 - 54

9 pencils will be left over.
