For this kind of questions, we need to check the problem carefully...
So there are 45 pupils all in all, and 9 of them gave their sweets away... Therefore, the rest of pupils would be 45-9= 36.
These 36 pupils then got 2 more sweets than they originally have. We can then set x as the number of candies they originally got.
We will then create an equality, since the total number of candies is the same in the 2 scenarios: a) all 45 pupils have candies b) 36 pupils get 2 more
45x = 36(x+2)
45x = 36x + 72
45x - 36x = 72
9x = 72
x = 8 candies
Total number of candies would then be 45x which is 45(8) = 360 candies.
The total points earned depends on the number of correct answers.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
The amount paid by each house is $11.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount paid by each house is $K
Number of neighbors you worked for on Friday = 4
So the amount paid by all of them = 4K
Number of neighbors you worked for on Saturday = 5,
similarly amount paid = 5K
Number of neighbors you worked for on Sunday = 3,
here amount paid = 3K
Also, in total the amount paid = $135
So, Amount paid on {Friday + Saturday +Sunday} = Total Amount
or, 5K + 4K + 3K = $135
or, 12K = 135
⇒K =135/12 = $11.25
So, the amount paid by each house is $11.25
