Hi there,

5x?=110?=22

how? 110/5=22

now 2x?=110

110/2=55?=55'

so we know now that people bought 22 packages with card and 55 w/th out cards!

so no we need to divide 695/both

695/5=139 packages with cards

695/2=347 packages without cards

SO

139 packages with card

347 packages without card
