Question

after distributing the sweets equally among 25 children,8sweets remain. Had the number of children been 28 ,22sweets would be left after equally distributing,what was total number of sweets?

Answer 1

Answer:

358 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of sweets= 25x + 8

Then (25x+8)-22 will be divisible by 28

=25x-14 is divisible by 28

= 28x-(3x+14) is divisible by 28

= 3x+14 is divisible by 28

x=14

So total number of sweets = 25(14)+8= 358

Answer 2

If you give 14sweets for 25 children 8 will remain.
If you give 12 sweets to 28children 22 remains, so, it is 358 sweets
how...
(25(n) +8-22) ÷28=answer
n€real numbers
n=1, 2,3....
when n=14, it is possible and the answer is 358.
