Question 167

605 sweets were distributed equally among children in such a way that the number of sweets received by each child is 20% of the total number of children. How many sweets did each child receive ?

Solution

Let the total number of children be N.

Number of sweets received by each child = N/5

So, N * N/5 = 605 => $$N^2 = 605 * 5$$ = 3025

So, N = 55

Number of sweets received by each child = 55/5 = 11
