in a class of 55 students and 3 teachers, each student got sweets that are 20% of the total number of students and each teacher got sweets that are 60% of the total number of students. How many sweets were there?
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of students is 55.
Each got 20% of the total number of students
so each student got 55 x 20/100 sweets
11 sweets.
Therefore 55 students got 55 x 11 i.e. 605 sweets.
each teacher got sweets which were 60% of the total number of sweets Therefore each teacher got 55 x 60/100 i.e. 33 sweets.
3 teachers got 33 x 3 = 99 sweets
Total number of sweets distributed = 605 + 99
= 704 sweets
Answer:
Sweets received by each student = 20/100 × 55 = 11
Total sweets received by all students = 55 × 11 = 605
Sweets received by each teacher = 60/100 × 55 = 33
Total sweets received by both the teachers = 33 × 3 = 99
Therefore total sweets distributed in the class = 605 + 99 = 704
