What I did to start with was to find the lowest number that both 12 and 10 could divide into, that number is 60.

I know 60 divided by 12 is 5 and I know that 60 divided by 10 is six.

Then I took 5 and multiplied it by 3 and got 15. I did this step because you need 5 packages of cups and each package cost 3 dollars.

Next I took 6 and multiplied it by 5 and got 30. I did this step because you need 6 packages of plates and each package cost 5 dollars.

You would then take 30 dollars and 15 dollars and add them together to get your total.

The answer is 42 dollars.
