20 children and 6 adults are going to attend a birthday party, each child got sweets that are 10% of the total number of children and each adult got 25% of the total number of children. Find how many sweets were arranged by the organizer so that it will fulfill the requirements of sweets at the party? Correct Answer 70
Given:
Total number of children = 20
Total number of Adults = 6
Each child got Sweets = 10% of total number of children
Each adult got sweets = 25% of total number of children
Concept used:
Total number of sweets = (Numbers of sweets each child got) × (Total number of students) + (Numbers of sweets each adult got) × (Total number of adults)
Calculation:
Numbers of sweets each child got = 10% of total number of children
⇒ 10% × 20
⇒ 10/100 × 20 = 2
⇒ Numbers of sweets each child got = 2
Numbers of sweets each adult got = 25% of total number of children
⇒ 25% × 20
⇒ 25/100 × 20
⇒ 5
⇒ Numbers of sweets each adult got = 5
Total number of sweets = (Numbers of sweets each child got) × (Total number of students) + (Numbers of sweets each adult got) × (Total number of adults)
⇒ Total number of sweets = 2 × 20 + 5 × 6
⇒ 40 + 30
⇒ 70
∴ Total numbers of sweets arranged by organizer = 70
