Sekhar gives a quarter of his sweets to Renu and then gives 5 sweets to Raji. He has 7 sweets left. How many did he have to start with ?

$\huge \pink{ \boxed{ \bf \red{Answer}}}$

Let 'a' be number of sweets will sekhar at starting.

Number of sweets given to Renu $\bf \frac{a}{4}$

Number of sweets given to Raju = 5

Number of sweets left = 7

$\bf{a \: - \: \frac{a}{4} \: - 5 \: = \: 7}$

$\bf{ \frac{3a}{4} \: = \: 12}$

$\bf{a \: = \: 16}$

∴ Sekhar starts with 16 sweets.

I hope it's helps you ☺️.
