Question

If there are enough chocolates to feed 2500 students for 40 days if some student were absent and the chocolates lasted for 50 days how many students were absent??​

Answer 1

Answer:

If the chocolate is for 2500 students for 40 days.

Then,

Each day the chocolate is consumption by students are

$40 |2500|62.5 \\ 2500 \\ 0000 \\ \\ so \: in \: this \: case \: \\ each \: day \: 62.5 \: choclates \\ were \: consumed \: by \: students.$

If the chocolate lasted for 50 days then

$50 |2500| 50 \\ 2500 \\ 0000\\ each \: day \: the \: 50 \\ choclate \: is \: given \: to \\ student$

So, the number of students absent is=

62.5-50=

12.5

so, approximately 13 students were absent.

hope it helps..

Answer 2

Answer=2000 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students absent be x

2500 students == 40 days

x students == 50 days

So,,

2500*40=50*x

100000 = 50x

100000/50 = x

2000 = x

Therefore, x = 2000 students
