Question

. 50 orange candies are to be divided among Ann, Sheena, Neel and Amjad.Ann gets 40% of

the candies while Amjad gets 5 candies. Sheena and Neel get the remaining candies in the

ratio 3:2. How many candies will Neel get?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Neel gets 10 candies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Candies with Sheena = 3x

Candies with Neel = 2x

Ann gets 40% of the candies

So,

40% of 50 candies

40 × 50 / 100

20

Ann gets 20 candies

Amjad gets 5 candies

So,

According to question:

⇒ 3x + 2x + 20 + 5 = 50

⇒ 5x + 25 = 50

⇒ 5x = 50 - 25

⇒ 5x = 25

⇒ x = 25 / 5

⇒ x = 5

★ Value of 3x:

⇒ 3 (5)

⇒ 3 × 5

⇒ 15

★ Value of 2x:

⇒ 2 (5)

⇒ 2 × 5

⇒ 10

Therefore,

Neel gets 10 candies

★ Verification:

• Ann gets 20 candies

• Amjad gets 5 candies

• Sheena gets 15 candies

• Neel gets 10 candies

★ Total :

⇒ 20 + 5 + 15 + 10 = 50
