On Republic Day sweets were to be equally distributed among 450 children. But on that particular day, 150 children remained absent. Thus, each child got 3 sweets additionally. How many sweets did each child get?

.Hey!!!
let each child x sweets.
Total sweets originally = 450x
When 150 students were absent = 300(x + 3)
Since the total number of sweets are same
=> 450x = 300(x + 3)
=> 3x = 2(x + 3). ( dividing both sides by 150)
=> 3x = 2x + 6
=> x = 6
Sweets per student = 6 + 3(additional)
=> Thus 9 sweets were given to each child.
Hope this helps
