Question

If a box of sweets is divided among 24 children, they will get 5 sweets each. How many would each get, if the number of the children is reduced by 4?

Answer 1

∵Each child gets = 5sweets
Therefore, 24 children will get 24 x 5 = 120 sweets Total number of sweets =120
If the number of children is reduced by 4, then children left = 24 – 4 =20
Now each child will get sweets = 120/20=6 sweets
