Question

On her birthday, Natasha donated 4 toffees each to children of an orphanage and 20 chocolates to adults working there. Taking the total items distributed as x and the number of children y, write a linear equation in two variables for the above situation. i) Write the equation in standard form. [Ans : x- 4y -20 = 0] ii) How many children are there if total 80 items were distributed?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

X=80=Number of total items distributed

Y=Number of children

ii) Total items distributed=80

Number of children=Number of items distributed-Number of chocolates given to the adults

= 80-20

=60

Number of children =No. of items distributed to children/chocolates given to each child

=60/4

=15

ii) Ans: Number of children =15
