Tia is buying paper cups and plates. Cups come in packages of 12, and plates come in packages of 10. She wants to buy the same number of cups and plates, but plans to buy the least number of packages possible. How much should Tia expect to pay if each package of cups is $3 and each package of plates is $5? Explain. Thanks

The least common multiple of 10 and 12 is 60.

60/10 = 6 packages of plates
60/12 = 5 packages of cups
45
Here would have to buy six packages of plates in five packages of cups because 10 and 12 calcium is 60
45
I dont know how to do math it's so hard
i did 10x6=60 and 12x5=60 3x5=15 5x6=30 30+15=45
i think this is right but not to sure
