Pupils contributed some money to help needy people. They bought twenty four 2-kg packets of flour, thirty six 1-kg packets of flour and a 50 kilogram bag of sugar. The flour was packed in 500g packets and the sugar in 250 g packets. How many people got both a packet of flour and a packet of sugar?

Answer 1

packets of flour: 24*2000 / 500 = 96
packets of sugar: 36*1000 / 250 = 144

so, what next? Did they hand out packets of both as long as they had both, or did they just give one or the other to anyone?
