let

x = the number of party favors in each of the 27 boxes

y = the number of party favors in the last box

the total number of party favors is 1,552

27x + y = 1,552

since 1552 = 57*27 + 13

if we assume that y<x we conclude that there are 57 party favors in each of the 27 boxes and 13 party favors in the last box.
