Answer:

12 pencils per package.

Step-by-step explanation:

Details provided:

Ethan purchased 4 packages of pencils.

Number of Packages = 4

Number of pencils shared with friend = 8 pencils

Pencils remaining = 40 pencils

∴Total Number of Pencils = Pencils given to friend + Pencils remaining = $40+8 =48$

Total Pencils in each package = $\frac{\textrm{Total Number of Pencils}}{\textrm{No Of Packages}}= \frac{48}{4}= 12 \ pencils$
