Total pillow formed = 3215 pillows
Step 3: To find total hippies :
16 pillows is are needed by 3 hippies
Total hippies = 603
Step 4 : To find total tree house needed :
8 hippies needs 1 treehouse
Total treehouse needed = 75
Step 5 : To find total planks
1 treehouse needs 322 planks
75 treehouses will need = 75 * 322 planks
Total planks needed = 24150
Step 6: To calculate Bongos:
5 planks given by 1 bongo
Total bongos needed = 4830
Hence if 11 penguins are present , bongos needed = 4830 .
