    The first time a package will contain both is the Lowest Common Multiple of both numbers (9 and 25). These two numbers are prime to each other (meaning there is no common factor other than 1), so the answer is

    9 * 25 = 225

    So on the 225 package the box will contain 1 baseball card and 1 football card.
