Question
In a school a total of 8,640 apples was distributed
among all the students in the school. The apples were distributed in such a way that number of apples received by each student were 15% of the total number of students in the school. Find the number of apples each student gets.Solution
Let the total number of students in the school be '20x/3'. So, the number of apples received by each student = 0.15 × (20x/3) = 'x' ATQ, Total number of apples distributed = (20x/3) × x = 8640 Or, x² = 8640 × (3 ÷ 20) = 1296 Since, number of apples cannot be negative. So, x = 36 Therefore, the number of apples received by each student = x = 36
