Question

There are 100 people in a wedding house, including children, men and women, and there are 100 pappadas to give with Sadya Te.

Answer 1

Answer:

Two possible sets of answers.

5 men, 11 women and 42 children, or

10 men, 2 women and 88 children

Selamat Sadhya!

Step-by-step explanation:

M = number of men

W = number of women

100-M-W = number of children

Total number of pappadas

5M+3W+(100-M-W)/2 = 100

Solve for W

W = (100-9M)/5 .......................(1)

Examine equation (1).

In order to have W as a whole number, M must be multiple of 5

Therefore M = 5 or 10

If M = 5, W = (100-45)/5 = 11 and children = 100-5-11 =  84

If M = 10, W = (100-90)/5 = 2 and children = 100-10-2 = 88
