Answer 1

186 notebooks; 222 pencils

Explanation:

1. Notebooks

The number of notebooks must be between 185 and 190.

To have no notebooks left over, the number of 6-packs must be an integral multiple of six.

The only integral multiple of six between 185 and 190 is 186.

186÷ 6 = 31

So, there are 31 packs containing a total of 186 notebooks.

2. Pencils

The number of pencils must be between 220 and 225.

To have no pencils left over, the number of 6-packs must be an integral multiple of six.

The only integral multiple of six between 220 and 225 is 222.

222÷ 6 = 37

So, there are 37 packs containing a total of 222 pencils.

There were originally 186 notebooks and 222 pencils.
