Kimberly sent gifts to her friends. For each gift she used either a rectangular gift box or a cylindrical gift box. Each box contains exactly one gift: either a fragrant soap or a pack of spicy roasted almonds. If half of the boxes she sent were cylindrical, and a third of the rectangular boxes contained soap, then how many cylindrical boxes contained soap?
(1) The total number of cylindrical boxes Kimberly sent is 50% greater than the number of rectangular boxes containing almonds she sent.
(2) Kimberly sent 16 rectangular boxes containing almonds.

Using both statements, you can calculate cylindrical boxes containing soap... You made a typo - 16 should be in Almond cylinder box rather than almond total box.
