Answer:

Explanation:

I think the best way is to split up the erasers before you do anything. That would mean there were 20 gift bags in all

If you did that, then each gift bag would contain 2 pencils with 10 left over.

Further 130 pens would divide up into 6 pens in each gift bag with 10 pens left over.
