Answer:
Free note books were to be distributed equally among 60 children of a class. Since 15 children were absent on the day of distribution each child got 5 notebooks extra. The total number of notebooks available for distribution is 230 books.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of students present when the books were being distributed is :
Children present = 60 - 15 = 45 children.
Now, if each student got a notebook each, we would have 45 notebooks in total.
However, they each got 5 books extra.
So the total number of the extra books each got is:
45 × 5 = 225 notebooks.
So, the total number of notebooks available for distribution is given as:
Total number of notebooks = 225 + 5 = 230 books.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 60 children - 15 absent = 45
2. 45 children * 5 books extra = 225
3. So, 15 children were to receive 225
i.e, 60 children would have received 225*4 = 900.
Therefore, 900 is the answer.
