Explanation / Answer

weight of the package on moon   W = 25N                                                  m g = 25 N weight of the package on earth    W = m (6g ) = 6 W   = 6* 25   = 150 N         since    gravity of moon = ( 1 /6 )gravity of earth                         gm      = g /6         So mass of package on moon     m = 25 /gm   = 25*6 / 9.8                                                                = 15.3 kg         mass of package onearth m = 15 / 9.8 = 15.3 kg     since   mass of the package is constant
