Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total sweets be x.

Therefore, rita distributed = 20% of x

                                             = 20/100 of x

                                                = x/5

now,

Remaining = x-x/5=4x/5

Pooja distributed = 15%of 4x/5

                                 = 15/100 of 4x/5

                                    = 3x/25

Therefore,

ATQ,

total sweets:-

x/5 + 3x/25 =80

=)  8x/25 =80

=) x= 250 sweets   (ans)
