Question

How to solve if a box of sweets is divided among 24 children, they will get 5 sweets each. How many would each get, if the number of the children is reduced by 4?

Answer 1

Solution -​​

Total number of children = 24  

∵ Total number of sweets in the box    

= (No. of children × No. of sweets given to each child)  

= (24 × 5) sweets    

= 120 sweets    

According to Question,  

The number of children is reduced by 4    

∵ No. of children = (24 - 4) = 20  

∵ Number of sweets given to each child    

= Total no. of sweets / No. of chidren  

= (120/20) sweets  

= 6 sweets  

∴ 6 Sweets will be distributed to each child if the number of children is reduced by 4
