2. Uncle bought a New Year's gift for each of his nephews, consisting of a candy, an orange, a pastry, a chocolate bar, and a book. If he had bought only candies with the same amount of money, he would have bought 224. He could have bought 112 oranges, 56 pastries, 32 chocolate bars, and 16 books with the same amount of money. How many nephews does Uncle have? Justify your answer.
2. Answer. 8. Solution. Let's express the prices of all items in terms of the price of a candy. An orange costs as much as two candies, a pastry - as 4 candies, a chocolate bar - as 224:32 = 7 candies, a book - as 14 candies. The total price of the gift is equal to the price of $1+2+4+7+14=28$ candies, and the number of nephews the uncle has is $224: 28=8$.
