    10 small packs.

    5 large packs.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the number of small packs be 2x then the number of large packs would be x. So we have the equation:

    4*2x + 24x = 160

    32x = 160

    x = 5 = the number of large packs.

    The number of small packs is 2*5 = 10 packs.
