The bulk candy is bagged in 3-pound bags and then packed in boxes for shipping. Each box contains 12 bags of mixed candy. Wilma Jackson-Randle reports that she currently has 600 3-pound bags on hand and 30 boxes of the size that will be used to ship the candy.

document.write( "First, the total mass of candies in 78 containers is  78*25 = 1950 pounds,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "        which is enough to fill  600 3-pound bags:  600*3 = 1800, which is less than 1950 pounds.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Second, the required number of boxes is   = 54.17,  or at least 54 full boxes,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "        while this women has only 30 boxes, which is not enough to complete the packaging process.\r\n" );
