Answer 2

Answer:

400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let no. of students = x

Number of sweets each students got, =

$\frac{3200}{x}$

$\frac{3200}{x} + 2 = \frac{3200}{x - 80} \\ 3200x +{2x}^{2} - 256000 - 160x - 3200x = 0 \\ {x}^{2} - 80x - 128000 = 0 \\ \\ (x = 400)(x + 320) = 0 \\ \\ x = 400 \: students$
