Question

Anagha's mother bought an equal number of ladoos and pedas. She put 13 of the ladoos and 15 of the pedas into a packet and gave it to Anagha to distribute at school. If there were a total of 80 sweets in the packet, how many ladoos did Anagha's mother buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

Anagha's mother bought an equal number of ladoos and pedas. Let there are x number of ladoos and pedas.

She puts x/3 of the ladoos and x/5 of the pedas into a packet and gave it to Anagha to distribute at school.

Total no of sweets in the packet = 80

$\dfrac{x}{3}+\dfrac{x}{5}=80\\\\\dfrac{5x+3x}{15}=80\\\\\dfrac{8x}{15}=80\\\\x=\dfrac{80\times 15}{8}\\\\x=150$

So, there are 150 ladoos brought by Anagha's mother.
