Question 41

Seven hundred twenty sweets were distributed equally amongst children, in such a way that number of sweets received by each child is 20% of the total numberof children. How many sweets did each child receive?

Solution

Total number of sweets distributed = 720

Let total children = 100x

Number of sweets received by each child = 20% of 100x = 20x

Total number of sweets = 100x * 20x = 720

$$x^2 = 0.36$$

x = 0.6

Total number of sweets did each child receive = 20x = 12
