In a class of 50 students and 6 teachers, each student got a number of chocolates that is equal to 16% of the total number of students, and each teacher got a number of chocolates that is equal to 12% of the total number of students. How many chocolates were there in total?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
16% = \(\frac{4}{25}\) & 12% = \(\frac{3}{25}\)
Total number of students = 50
Total number of Teachers = 6
Chocolate each student got = \(\frac{4}{25} × 50 = 8
Total chocolates students got = 8 × 50 = 400
No. of chocolates each teacher got = \(\frac{3}{25} × 50 = 6
Total chocolates teachers got = 6 × 6 = 36
So , Total no. of chocolates = 400 + 36 = 436
