Solution

To find the least number of each type of bulb Zach will need to buy, we can use a common multiple of 9 and 3.

The common multiple of 9 and 3 is 9, since 9 is divisible by both 9 and 3.

Therefore, Zach will need to buy 9 tulip bulbs and 9 daffodil bulbs in order to have the same number of each type of bulb.
