  1. Calculate Small Packets: Calculate the number of small packets Alan buys.\newlineReasoning: Alan buys 3232% of 400400 packets as small packets.\newlineCalculation: 400×0.32=128 400 \times 0.32 = 128 small packets.
  2. Calculate Large Packets: Calculate the number of large packets Alan buys.\newlineReasoning: Alan buys 4040% of 400400 packets as large packets.\newlineCalculation: 400×0.40=160 400 \times 0.40 = 160 large packets.
  3. Calculate Medium Packets: Calculate the number of medium packets Alan buys.\newlineReasoning: Total packets minus small and large packets.\newlineCalculation: 400−(128+160)=112 400 - (128 + 160) = 112 medium packets.
  4. Calculate Small Packets: Calculate the number of small packets Beryl buys.\newlineReasoning: Beryl buys 33/1010 of 500500 packets as small packets.\newlineCalculation: 500×(3/10)=150 500 \times (3/10) = 150 small packets.
  5. Calculate Large Packets: Calculate the number of large packets Beryl buys.\newlineReasoning: Beryl buys 11/1010 of 500500 packets as large packets.\newlineCalculation: 500×(1/10)=50 500 \times (1/10) = 50 large packets.
  6. Calculate Medium Packets: Calculate the number of medium packets Beryl buys.\newlineReasoning: Total packets minus small and large packets.\newlineCalculation: 500−(150+50)=300 500 - (150 + 50) = 300 medium packets.
  7. Calculate Medium Packets: Calculate the number of medium packets Charlie buys.\newlineReasoning: Ratio of small to medium packets is 33:44, Charlie buys 150150 small packets.\newlineCalculation: (150×4)/3=200 (150 \times 4) / 3 = 200 medium packets.
  8. Calculate Total Medium Packets: Calculate the total number of medium packets.\newlineReasoning: Sum of medium packets from Alan, Beryl, and Charlie.\newlineCalculation: 112+300+200=612 112 + 300 + 200 = 612 medium packets.
