(1/24)(packages/pieces) and (1/15)(packages/pieces)

and

This seems like common denominator or common multiple problem.

The first denominator needs a 5 factor.
The second denominator needs a 2^3=8 factor.
The numerators also need the same corresponding factors, otherwise the quantity of packages will be missed.

Box of 24:

Buy 5 boxes.

Box of 15:

Buy 8 boxes.

Buying 120 pieces of each of the chocolates.
