484 toffees were distributed equally among children in such a way that the number of toffees received by each child is 25% of the total number of children. How many toffees did each child receive :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Total number of children = N
Number of toffee each child get = \(\frac{484}{N}\)
According to question,
\(\frac{484}{N}\) = \(\frac{25}{100}\) × N
\(\frac{484}{N}\) = \(\frac{1}{4}\) × N
N² = 484 × 4
N = 44
Number of toffee each child get = \(\frac{484}{44}\) = 11
The correct answer is option (3) : 11
