Question

A girl distributed some sweets on her birthday. The half of the sweets she had were distributed in the class and three- fourth of the remaining were distributed in the bus. The rest 20 were distributed among her friends living in her neighbourhood. Find the number of sweets she had?

Answer 1

Answer:

let the total number of sweets be x

1/2 of x , she distributed in class

3/4 of x , she distributed in bus

20 were distributed among her friends

So,

x - (1/2x + 3/4x + 20)= sweets she had

x/4+20 answer
