Question

300 apples are distributed equally among a certain number of student's. Had there been 10 more students eacj would have received one apple less . Find no. Of student

Answer 1

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

let X be number of students and Y be number of apples each student has received

1st sentence can be written in algebraic expression as

$\frac{300}{x} = y$

10 more students means X+10 and each would have received one apple less means y - 10

$\frac{300}{x + 10} = y - 1$

solve these both for X and Y
