Add the numbers in each bag to get a sum.




Problem 1.    Put three even numbers in each bag so the sums are still 30. Use these nine even numbers each once.





Problem 2.    Put the ten odd numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 19 in these two bags so the bags have the same sum (the sums are equal.) Use each number once.
