    Answer: 11 party bags with 1 sticker leftover

    Each bag contains 4 bubbles, 8 stickers, and 5 pencils.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Find the GCF of 44 (bubbles), 89 (stickers), and 55 (pencils)

    44: 2 x 2 x 11

    89: prime so choose 88 with 1 leftover

    88: 2 x 2 x 2 x 11

    55: 5 x 11

    GCF = 11

    Disregard the GCF to see how many of that item should go in each bag.

    Bubbles: 2 x 2

    Stickers: 2 x 2 x 2

    Pencils: 5
