Given:1 basket = 4 soaps + 2 lotions127 total soaps85 total bottles of lotion First divide the total amount of soap by however many is needed to make single basket.  127/4 = 31.75  ≈ 31 sets Then divide the total amount of lotion by however many is needed to make single basket 85/2 = 42.5 ≈ 42 sets You will need to pick the whichever number is lower/ This will ensure that you have all the supplies you need to make a complete basket. Therefore, you can make 31 complete baskets.
