Question

At a snack shop, the number of Samosas sold was 3 more than Twice the cost of each Samosa. If the total amount collected by selling Samosas was Rs. 90. Find the number of Samosas sold.​

Answer 1

Answer:

15 SAMOSAS WERE SOLD

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost of each samosa be X

then the number of samosas sold be 2X+3

(2X+3)×X=90

2X²+3X=90

2X²+(15-12)X-90=0

2X²+15X-12X-90=0

2X(X+15)-12(X+15)=0

(2X-12)(X+15)=0

X=6,X= -15

So number of samosas sold = 2×6+3

=12+3

=15
