P.S. our lesson is getting the GCF or the LCM. And Im not also sure if the word problem is an LCM problem or GCF problem. Thanks! Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2*9=3*6
Every 18th customer will receive both.
18,36,54,72,90
An=18n
100 = 18 + (n - 1)18
100= 18*(1+n-1)
100=18n
100/18=n
50/9=n
5.55=n
n=5
