Question

Some note books were equally distributed among some students, if ten students were less each
would get 1 note book more while if 15 students were more each would get 1 note book less. Find
the number of note books distributed. [Book = 300]

Answer 1

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students- s

Number of notebooks each student get- n

Number of notebooks= sn

Now, let's build equations based on given:

1. 10 students less: (s-10)(n+1)=sn+s-10n-10=sn => s=10n+10

2. 15 student more: (s+15)(n-1)=sn-s+15n-15=sn => s=15n-15

Comparing s in above equations we get value of n:

10n+10=15n-15

5n=25

n=5

s=10*5+10=60

Number of notebooks: 5*60=300
