Question

- A total of 57 sweets were distributed among
10 children such that each girl gets 5 sweets and
each boy gets 6. sweets. Find the number of girls.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of sweets= 57

let the number of girl be x

and

the number of boys be y

according to the question

x + y = 10. equation 1

5x + 6y = 57. equation 2

multiplying equation 1 by 5

5x + 5y = 50. equation 3

now subtracting equation 3 from 2

We get ,

y = 7

putting value of y in equation 1

x + 7 = 10

x = 3

hence,

number of girls= 3

number of boys = 7
