Question

The manager of a snack bar buys bottled water in packs of 35 and candy bars in packs of 20. Then, she sells the items individually. Yesterday, she bought the same number of water bottles as candy bars to sell at the snack bar. If she bought the lowest number of items possible, how many packs of each item did she buy?

Answer 1

If you do 35 times 4 you get 140. Divide 140 by 20 and you get 7 . Therefore the manager would have to buy 7 packs of candy bars and 4 packs of water bottles
