im pretty sure its this:

28+24=52

So we make a sum of what's going to equal 52 in small packets.

I found 4x13=52. 13 would be the number of packets ...

BUT! Since it MUST be equal dark and milk and we have 28 and 26,

you would have to eliminate 1 pack because all 4 would be milk chocolate.

So that is only 12 packets.

4 per pack so that would be 2 dark and 2 milk per packet
