Question

Soon sweets are distributed among 40 kids. Had there been 20 more kids, each kid would have received 5 sweets left. How many sweets were there in total?​

Answer 1

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

No. Of sweets given to 40 kids = 5 x 40

= 200

No. Of sweets given to 20 more kids = 5 x 20

= 100

Total no. Of sweets = 200 + 100= 300

Answer 2

Given,

Sweets are distributed among $40$ kids.

Each kid would have received $5$ sweets, if there are $20$ more kids.

So, if total sweets are distributed to $60$ kids, then each kid would have received $5$ sweets.

Let the total number of sweets be $x$.

According to the given information:

$x=(40+20)\times5$

$x=60\times5$

$x=300$.

Hence, there are $300$ sweets in total.
