There are candy packs and each candy pack has 1 of 60 collectable stickers. How many packs do I need to buy to complete the collection
I'm not sure what kind of problem this is and therefore don't know how to solve it.

There is no number of packs that you can buy to guarantee compeletion of the collection. You can buy $1,000,000$ candies all of them could have the same sticker, and you will end up with 1,000,000$ stickers of the same type. You probably mean this question to be answered in probabilistic sense. If so, it should be a separate question and come with a good bounty.
