Answer 1

so your looking for greatest # of goodie bags A: So in this equation you are wanting to find the GCF of the numbers which I came up with is 9 36 divided by 9= 4 Then 54 divided by 9 = 6 You do this so now you can have the same number of bags for each number which would only make sense. So we are going to have 9 bags and in one bag will carry 4 tickets and 6 posters. Hope I explained this good enough and it helps :-)

Answer 2

(a)18 bags maximum. 2 posters + 3 tickets per bag.
(b) 2 posters and 3 tickets per bag. 18 x 3 tickets = 54 & 18 x 2 posters = 36
