Perry works in the shipping department of a toy factory that makes radio-controlled

helicopters. Small helicopters weigh 2 pounds each, and are shipped in a container that
weighs 16 pounds. Large ones, on the other hand, weigh 5 pounds apiece, and are shipped in
a container that weighs 13 pounds. If these boxes can hold a certain number of helicopters
each, all of the packed containers will have the same shipping weight. What would the total
weight be? How many helicopters would fit in either container?

The shipping weight of a full container of either size will be ___
pounds if it holds ___ helicopters.
