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? *

Answer 1

let the number of candies akash have = x + 15

So number of candies beenu have = x.

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

according to question

5x + 75 = 6x + 45

x= 75-45

x = 30

Therefore akash had 45 candies and beenu had 30 candies.
