Question 157

In a class of 55 students and 3 teachers, each student got sweets that are 20% of the total number of students and each teacher got sweets that are 60% of the total number of students. How many sweets were there?

Solution

There are 55 students and 3 teachers.

Sweets received by each student = $$\frac{20}{100} * 55$$ = 11

=> Total sweets received by all the students = 55 * 11 = 605

Sweets received by each teacher = $$\frac{60}{100} * 55$$ = 33

=> Total sweets received by both teachers = 3 * 33 = 99

$$\therefore$$ Total sweets distributed in class = 605 + 99 = 704
