Step-by-step explanation:

Given, two brands of chocolates are available in pack of 24 and 15 respectively.

We need to buy an equal number of chocolates of both kinds.

For this we find the LCM of 24 and 15

Now,  

24=2^3 ×3

5=3×5

LCM(24,15)=2^3 ×3×5=120

Now,

the number of boxes of pack of 24 =  120/14 =5

and the number of boxes of pack of 15 v= 120/15 =8

there fore you should buy 5 boxes of first type and 8 boxes of second type
