The answer will be the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of these numbers. Bear in mind, that the number of bags should be equal, and NOT the number of balls in each bag.
135 = 5*3*3*3
150 = 5*3*5*2
165 = 5*11*3
a) The GCF is 15.
b)
No of balls in purple bag = 135/15 = 9
No of balls in yellow bag = 150/15 = 10
No of balls in red bag = 165/15 = 11
