To find out how many cartons of strawberries Mei had in the end, we can break down the problem step by step.

Step 1: Mei originally packed 783 strawberries equally into 9 cartons.
This means she had a total of 783 strawberries / 9 cartons = 87 strawberries per carton before giving any to her neighbors.

Step 2: Mei gave 4 cartons to her neighbors.
So, she was left with 9 cartons - 4 cartons = 5 cartons of strawberries.

Step 3: Mei decided to repack 5 strawberries into each carton.
This means she distributed 5 strawberries to each of the remaining 5 cartons, which gives us a total of 5 cartons * 5 strawberries = 25 strawberries repacked.

Step 4: Mei puts the repacked strawberries back into the existing 5 cartons.
So, her total number of cartons remains the same at 5 cartons.

Therefore, Mei had a total of 5 cartons of strawberries in the end.
