In the society two-seventh of the chocolate given to the parents and the three-seventh of the chocolate given to the children and 10 chocolate left with the distributor. Total how many chocolates distributed by the distributor in the society? Correct Answer 25
Calculation:
Let the number of chocolate be x
The number of chocolate given to the parents = 2x/7
The number of chocolate given to the children = 3x/7
The number of chocolate left with the distributor = 10
Now, A/Q
2x/7 + 3x/7 + 10 = x
⇒ 5x/7 + 10 = x
⇒ x - (5x/7) = 10
⇒ 2x/7 = 10
⇒ x = 35
Number of chocolate distributed in the society = 35 - 10 = 25
∴ The number of chocolate distributed by the distributor in the society is 25
Confusion Points
35 is the total number of chocolate with the distributor and he distributed 25 chocolate from them.
