Question

A packet of sweets was distributed among 20 children and each of them received 4 sweet.how many sweet will each get,if the number of children is reduced by 4?

Answer 1

Total number of sweets = 20 x 4 = 80.

If there were 4 less children, then each will get 80/16 = 5 sweets.

Answer 2

----------------------------------------

Here is the solution:

----------------------------------------

Number of children = 20

Number of sweets each get = 4

Find the total number of sweets:

Total number of sweets = Number of students x Number of sweets each get

Total number of sweets = 20 x 4 = 80

Find the number of students after the reduction:

20 - 4 = 16

Find the number of sweets each child get:

Number of sweets each child get = Total number of sweets ÷ Number of children

Number of sweets each child get = 80 ÷ 16 = 5

Answer: Each child get 5 sweets
