Answer: 36 and 24

Explanation:

Hi, since a pack of cars has 12 cars, if she buys only packs, the possible number of cars that she could buy will be multiples of 12.

Multiples of 12: 12,24,36,48,60,72,84,96,108,120, etc

We can pick any multiple of 12.

For example if she buys 3 packs of cars:

3 x 12 = 36 cars

If she buys 2 pack of cars:

2x12=24 cars

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
