Dear friend,
              No. of chocolate cookies- 98
              No. of almond cookies- 168
Since, the question is to find the number of boxes which is lesser than the number of cookies, let us find the HCF.
HCF- 2×7=14
Answer- The cookies should be packed in 14 boxes to get the same number of cookies.
Hope this helps you!!!
Regards!!!
