Question

Abdul was given the task of distributing 94 chocolates to students on Republic day. He had to give 2 chocolates to each student. His teacher called him to check how many chocolates were left with him.
(a) If the number of students who received the chocolates is x, what is the rule for finding the number of chocolates left with Abdul?
(b) If Abdul had 58 chocolates left with him, find the number of students who received the chocolates.​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 94 - 2x         b) 18 students

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If the number of students is x, then the number of chocolates distributed is 2x (2 chocolates per student). To get the remaining chocolates, we do 94 - 2x

b) If Abdul has 58 chocloates left, he distributed 94 - 58 = 36 chocolates. Now if every student gets 2 chocolates, the number of students who got chocolates is $\frac{36}{2}$, hence, 18 students.
