Question 123

A certain number of chocolates were distributed in a classroom containing 15 boys and 25 girls. The number of chocolates each boy gets is equal to 20% of the number of girls and the number of chocolates each girl gets is equal to 15% of the total number of students in the class. Find the total number of chocolates.

Solution

Number of chocolates each boy gets = 0.2*25 = 5
==> Total number of chocolates distributed among boys = 5*15 = 75
Number of chocolates each girl gets = 0.15*(15+25) = 6
==> total number of chocolates distributed among girls = 6*25 = 150
==> Total number of chocolates distributed in the class = 150+75 = 225
