Question

On her birthday, Sonia distributed chocolates in an orphanage. She gave 5 chocolates to each child and 20 chocolates to adults. Take the number of children as x and total number of chocolates distributed as y:

Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

Total number of Children = x Children

Total number of chocolates distributed = y Chocolates

If there are x children, then total number of chocolate got by children= 5 x Chocolate

Number of chocolate got by Adults= 20

Let total number of adults be z.

Expressing the statement in terms of Equation

 y = 5 x + 20 z

$z=\frac{y-5 x}{20}$

⇒Number of Adults =z

       $=\frac{y-5 x}{20}$
