Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, it’s given that
Number of chocolates of 1st brand in a pack = 24
Number of chocolates of 2nd brand in a pack = 15.
So, the least number of both brands of chocolates need to be purchased is given by their LCM.
L.C.M. of 24 and 15 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 120
Hence, the number of packets of 1st brand to be bought = 120 / 24 = 5
And, the number of packets of 2nd brand to be bought = 120 / 15 = 8
