Question

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 children is reduced by 4?

Answer 1

24*5=120
therefor there is 120 sweets
if the number of children is redused by 4 no of children 'll be 6
x*6=120
x=120/6
=20

Answer 2

no.of students=24
no.of sweets each gets=5
therefore,total no.of sweets=24*5=120
the no.of children when 4 is gone=24-4=20
hence,each child will get 120/20=6 sweets.
