To determine the number of items in each of the packages, we simply multiply the number of packages and the number of items in each package.

(1) For the 4 packages of napkin.

(4 packages)(28 napkins/package) = 112 napkin

(2) For 2 packages of cups


(2 packages)(24 cups/package) = 48 cups

From the calculated values, it may be concluded that 4 packages of napkin will have more number of items.

b. By how much?

D = 112 - 48 = 64

Answer: 64
