60 people are invited to a party. There are 24 cups in a package and 18 napkins in a package. what is the least number or packages of cups of napkins that can be bought if each party guest gets one cup and one napkin. (hint LCM of 26 and 18)

3 Packages of Cups and 4 Packages of Napkins

So, I believe you had a typo, and meant to say “what is the least number or packages of cups AND napkins that can be bought if each…”

To solve, I counted by the amount in each package until its over 60:

Cups: 24 -> 48 -> 72; Counted 3x, so 3 packs

Napkins: 18 -> 36 -> 54 -> 72; Counted 4x, so 4 packs

*Note: Although you have more than 60, its still the least amount of packs you can buy to give all 60 people at-least 1 of each*
