PROVIDE EXPLANATION

Answer 1

Answer:

20 (N-1) - x = sweet to be given to guests

Step-by-step explanation:

Boxes of sweets = N

Number of sweets in each box = 20

Number of boxes spoilt = 1

Number pf sweets crushed = x

Anne's mother bought N times of 20 sweets = 20 raised to N = 20 (N)

Box spoilt - Minus one from N since we are talking about a BOX = (N - 1)

20 (N - 1) - x = sweets to be given out

20 raised to N, subtract 1 and subtract the crushed sweets = sweets to be given to guests
