Question

Two friends, Akash & Beenu had some candies each. One of them had 15 candies more than the other. The candies with Akash was 60% of the total candies with them. How many candies did each have

please explain the solution ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Akash has 45 candies and Beenu has 30 candies.

Step-by-step explanation:

let, Number candies Akash has = x + 15

So, number of candies Beenu has = x

Total candies they had = x + x + 15 = 2x + 15

According to the Question,

$x+15=\frac{60}{100}\times(2x+15)$

$5x+75=3(2x+15)$

5x + 75  = 6x + 45

x = 75 - 45

x = 30

Therefore, Akash has 45 candies and Beenu has 30 candies.

Answer 2

ALet the candies with be (x + 15) and x.

Therefore, x + 15 = 60/100(x + 15 + x)

(x + 15) = 3/5(2x + 15)

5x + 75 = 6x + 45

x = 30

So, the marks of two students are 45 and 30.nswer:
