Let x be the number of packets of flour.
The number of packets of sugar is x + 22.
So, the total number of packets is equal to x + x + 22 = 2x + 22 = 225.7 kg / 1.5 kg/packet = 150.47 packets.
Thus, 2x + 22 = 150.47 and the number of packets of sugar, x + 22 = 55.235 packets.
Hence, the baker has 55 packets of sugar. Answer: \boxed{55}.
