Question

Rita has given one-fourth of her toffees to her friend Geeta, one-fifth to her friend Sita and the remaining toffees to her brother. If her brother has 22 toffees, find the total number of toffees she initially had.

Answer 1

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

no of toffees=n

G = n/4

S=n/5

remaining = n-(n/4+n/5) = n-n×(9/20)=n(1-9/20)=11n/20

brother =11n/20

11n/20 = 22

11n=440

n=40
