Add up a range only if divisible by x

Hello there. I run a coffee roastery, and we offer several sizes. I'm attempting to build a sheet that tells our packaging team how many 2-lb bags and how many 5-lb bags to prepare. Customers can order by the pound. We have a 2-lb bag that all weights below or equal to 2-lbs go into, and a 5-lb bag that all weights below or equal to 5-lbs go into.

For instance, if someone order 1 lb, that goes into a 2-lb bag. If someone orders 3 lbs, that goes into a 5-lb bag.

These amounts get filled into Column B as however much they ordered. Column A contains the customer account name and the word BULK.

I want to be able to distinguish between what goes into a 2-lb bag and what goes into a 5-lb bag.

Currently, I have this, but it isn't doing what I need it to do.
Excel Formula:
=mod(SUMIFS(B11:B82,$A$11:$A$82,"*BULK*"),5)

In order for this to work, I cannot simply use "<=2" and ">2", because if someone orders 12 lbs, for instance, that's 2x 5-lb bags and one 2-lb bag.

Cell B5 is doing the math for finding <=2, and Cell B6 is doing math for >2.
 

Excel Facts

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
Assuming you have columns - Weight, 5 lb Bags, 2 lb Bags.

5 lb Bags = INT(Weight/5)
2 lb Bags = ROUNDUP( (Weight - (5 lb Bags * 5))/2, 0 )

Here's what I came up with:

=INT( [@Weight] /5)=ROUNDUP( ([@Weight]-([@[5 Lb Bags]]*5))/2, 0 )

Here's another take on it:

Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
C2:C21C2=INT(B2/5)+(MOD(B2,5)>2)
D2:D21D2=(B2>C2*5)+0


This will result in using fewer total bags, but more of the 5-pound bags. Compare orders 1 and 4 for example to see the difference.

Solution
Hmm. These are great solutions, but I can't seem to get them to work with my sheet. As it is now, I cannot add a column to do the math for each order. I need to be able to do it for an array (specifically, B11:B82), all in one cell.

Here's a test sheet of the range I'm working with.

I've decided to go with the solution by @Phuoc. I'll create two row next to each column that represents a type of coffee. Those rows will do the math, and I'll hide them so as to not clutter the sheet.

Thank you all!
