Question

Riti has a box of sweets. She distributes 20% of
the sweets. Pooja comes and distributes 15% of
the remaining sweets. If a total of 80 sweets were
distributed, find how many sweets were there in the
box?​

Answer 1

Answer:

250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total no. of sweets,

20% of x is : 20/100.x

15% of remaining is : 15/100(x-20/100.x)

total distribution is : 80

20/100.x + 15/100(x-20/100.x) = 80

or

(2000x+1200x)/10000 = 80

or

3200x = 80,000

or

x = 250
