(a).find the number of sweets each pupils received in term of q
(b.)miss Chen brought 144 sweets to school how many sweets did each pupil receive.

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of sweets miss chen brought = q

Number of sweets miss chen gave to her colleagues = 24

Remaining number of sweets = q - 24

a) Number of students = 40

Number of sweets remaining = (q - 24)

Therefore, number of sweets each student received = (q - 24)/40

b) Number of sweets miss chen brought = 144

q = 144

Number of sweets each students receives = (q - 24)/40

                                                                       = (144 - 24)/40

                                                                       = 120/40

                                                                       => 3

Therefore, each pupil receives 3 sweets.
