Question

A child had certain amount of chocolates. He ate 35per cent of the chocolates but still had 13 chocolates. What is the number of chocolates the child originally had?

Answer 1

Let number of chocolates be x

A/Q he have consumed 35% of x

and remained with 13 chocolates

= x - 35x/100 = 13

= 65x/100 = 13

= 65x =1300

x = 1300/65

x = 20

hence , he had 20 chocolates with him.
