#18# Packets

Explanation:

There is no need for algebra, just thinking about it:

She could simply have #17# packets of #1# ball and #1# club as this is #1# less than the amount of clubs, which is #18#. As she would need at least 1 club to compliment the left over balls.

#24-17=7# balls left

#18-17=1# club left

Then she could sell another packet with #1# club, and #7# balls.

#17+1=18#,

Therefore the maximum amount of packets she could have is #18#
