Explanation:

I think this might be correct you can see for yourself if you think this is good

solution: 5 packs

let a be plates and b be packs

100a = 5b

= (20*5)a

sorry if confusing I'll say it here

packs is 20 plates and you need 100 plates

just divide the plates you need (100) and the plates per pack (20) and that's how many packs you need to get(5)
