A farmer harvested 1,635 pounds of potatoes. She could buy either small bags that hold 10 pounds of potatoes, medium-sized bags that hold 12 pounds, or large bags that hold 25 pounds. She will use bags that are all the same size and must select one size only.

Which size bag should the farmer use to package the potatoes so the fewest pounds are left over after packaging
