Question

On Independence Day, 300 toffees were brought to a school. 99% toffees were distributed
to students. What number of toffees remained?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given,

Total number of toffees = 300

Percentage of toffees distributed = 99%

Let the number of remaining toffees be x

So,

$\frac{x}{300} \times 100 = 99 \\ = > x = \frac{99 \times 300}{100} \\ x = 99 \times 3 \\ x = 297$

So, number of toffees distributed = 297

Number of toffees remaining =

300 - 297 = 3

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

total toffees=300

percentage of toffees distributed=99%

no. of toffies distributed=99/100*300

=297

no of toffees left=300-297

=3

hence, 3 toffees left.
