Solution

Step 1: Understand the problem. Tina packed 7 bottles of hand sanitizers, 4 masks, and 2 granola bars into every gift bag. She used 117 more hand sanitizers than masks for all her gift bags. We need to find out how many granola bars Tina packed altogether.

Step 2: Find out how many more hand sanitizers Tina packed than masks. According to the problem, Tina packed 117 more hand sanitizers than masks.

Step 3: Find out how many hand sanitizers Tina packed per bag more than masks. Since Tina packed 7 hand sanitizers and 4 masks per bag, she packed 7 - 4 = 3 more hand sanitizers per bag than masks.

Step 4: Calculate how many bags Tina packed. Since the number of extra hand sanitizers per bag (3) times the number of bags equals the total number of extra hand sanitizers (117), we can find the number of bags by dividing the total number of extra hand sanitizers by the number of extra hand sanitizers per bag. So, Tina packed 117 / 3 = 39 bags.

Step 5: Calculate how many granola bars Tina packed. Since Tina packed 2 granola bars per bag and she packed 39 bags, Tina packed 2 * 39 = 78 granola bars altogether.
