57 pens per bag

21 pencils per bag

9 erasers per bag

Step-by-step explanation:

Thus, what we do is to divide the total number of each item by 3 to get exactly the number of each items that would be in each of the gift bags

For the pens, we have 171/3 = 57 pens per bag

For the pencils, we have 63/3 = 21 pencils per bag

For the erasers, we have 27/3 = 9 erasers per bag

b=12

a=24

5 + 8 +7 + 4 + 0 +1 = 25
