Dean Howell · Answer 1

If it can be assumed that the total number paper and bags is the same for both orders, then:

#bags ordered in the spring=7 * (150/3) = 350, so the total of both is 150+350=500. A 5:5 ratio means that the wrapping paper and bags were bout in equal quantities. That means 500/2=250 for each.
