Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let say :
Sweets man has to give is x
-------
Man's sweets = 25 - x
-------
The boy's sweets = 55 + x
: This number is equal to 4( number of mans sweets )
-------
Thus
55 + x = 4( 25 - x )
55 + x = 100 - 4x
55 - 100 = -4x - x
-45 = - 5x
45 ÷ 5 = x
6.67 = x
-------
6.67 ≈ 7
Your answer is 7
------
