Question 104

In a class of 35 students and 6 teachers, each student got sweets that are 20% of the total number of students and each teacher got sweets that are 40% of the total number of students. How many sweets were there ?

Solution

Number of students = 35 and number of teachers = 6

Sweets received by each student = $$\frac{20}{100} \times 35 = 7$$

Sweets received by each teacher = $$\frac{40}{100} \times 35 = 14$$

$$\therefore$$ Total sweets = $$(35 \times 7) + (6 \times 14)$$

= $$245 + 84 = 329$$
