324 students, a certain number of sweets were
distributed. But on that day only 216 students were
present. As a result, each of the students got two
more sweets. Find the total number of sweets
distributed on that day.​

Answer 1

Answer:

648

Step-by-step explanation:

firstly they got 1-1 each so no of sweet =216

then they got 2 more so now no of sweet distributed =2*216

so total no of sweet distributied is=216+2*216

648

Answer 2

Answer:

648

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of student be denoted as $x$

If on  the given day each of  students got two  more sweets.

then each student gets $3 sweets$

Then, then number of sweets given can be found as a function of the number of students present as;

$f(x)=3x$

If on that given day only 216 students were

present.

Then

$f(216)=3*216 =648$

Therefore, the total number of sweets  distributed on that day is 648
