Answer:

Largest amount of bags that can be filled: 11

Starbursts in each bag: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the greastest common factor between these two (which is 8) and divide the sum of the jolly ranchers and starbursts-which will be 88-by the greatest common factor. This will leave you with 11 bags that can be filled with 8 candies. To find the starbursts, divide 24 by 8 (3.)
