Bridget's bakery sells cupcakes in packeges of 6. penny's pastries sells cupcakes in packages of 10. sheldon wants to buy the same number of cupcakes from each bakery for a party, and he can buy only buy cupcakes in packages.

Sheldon should buy 5 packages to Bridget's Bakery and 3 to Penny's Pastries.

Explanation:

In order to buy the same amount of cupcakes from both stores, Sheldon should buy 5 packages to Bridget's Bakery and 3 to Penny's Pastries. To calculate this, Sheldon should calculate the least common multiple between 6 and 10, which is the number of cupcakes that each package has. The lest common multiple is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both numbers (in this case, 6 and 10). To find the least common multiple Sheldon should calculate the prime factorization of 6 and 10, that is to say, which prime numbers multiply together to make the original number.

6= 2x3

10=2x5

After that, Sheldon should multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs, in this case:

2x3x5= 30

That means he needs to buy 30 cupcakes from each store. 30 divided by 6 is 5, and 30 divided by ten is 3. Those are the numbers of packages he needs.
