Veggie patties are sold in packages of 5. Buns are sold in packages of 8. You need about 125 veggie burgers for a school barbecue. You do not want any patties or buns leftover. How many packages of each should you buy?

5x = 125
X = __ packs of burgers.

8y = 125
Y = __ packs of buns.
LCM(5,8) = 40
40*3 = 120, which is about 125
So,
24 pkgs of patties
15 pkgs of buns
