ok so.
The number of packages of flour tortillas is a 9 multiple. there are only packages of flour tortillas and packages of corn tortillas on the shelf.
Let the number of flour tortillas be x and the number of corn tortillas be y
therefore the total number of packages are x+y.
Given the ratio of the number of packages of corn tortillas to the total number of packages on the shelf was 7 to 16.
Therefore x is a 9 multiple.

My last response, I said the answer was probably 18.
Basically the answer is anything divisible by 9
Which means it could be
18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, etc.

So, it says 7 to 16.
Do 16-7, which gives you 9.
Now, what is the factor of 9(for example 4 is a factor of 2. 2x2=4)
18 is your answer.

The ratio of the number of packages of corn tortillas to the total number of packages on the shelf is 7/16, which means the ratio of the number of packages of flour tortillas to the total number of packages on the shelf is 9/16 (since 7/16 + 9/16 = 16/16 = 1).
Let's say the number of packages of flour tortillas on the shelf is x. Then:
9/16 = x/total number of packages
Simplifying, we get:
total number of packages = (16/9)x
Since the total number of packages must be a multiple of 16, and (16/9) is not a whole number, the only possible value for x that makes the total number of packages a multiple of 16 is 32. Therefore, the answer is 32 - x = 32 - 18 = 14. The clerk could have put 14 packages of flour tortillas on the shelf.
