Answer 1

Question----✓

Dorothy buys a bag of lollipops for 375. She distributes one lollipop each to all the children

in her class, and is left with none for herself. If one lollipop costs 15, how many children are

there in Dorothy's class, including Dorothy?

Answer ---✓

Let number of children in the class be x (including Dorothy).

Now, cost of one lollipop is 15 rupees. Since Dorothy distributes one lollipop each to all of the (x — 1) children, therefore

15(x — 1) = 375

=> 15x — 15 = 375

=> 15x = 375 + 15

=> 15x = 390

=> x = 390/15 = 26

So, there are 26 children in Dorothy's class, including Dorothy.
