Question

250 apples were divided equally among a certain no of students if there were 25 more students each would have received half apples less.find no of students

Answer 1

let no of students = x

so each student gets 250/x apples

now, if students are will be x+25

then each student gets 250/2x = 125/x apples

(x+25 ) (125/x ) = 250

x+25 = 2x

x = 25

so the number of students is 25
