Question

The children are hungry by this time so they take out their lunch packs. Biscuits, oranges and bananas are also distributed in all the buses.

Each child is to be given 1 orange, 1 banana and 5 biscuits.

All the children take oranges and biscuits but 38 children do not take bananas.

How many oranges, biscuits and bananas are distributed?

Answer 1

Total number of children = 210

Each child gets 1 orange, 1 banana and 5 biscuits, but 38 children do not take a banana.

Number of oranges distributed

= Number of children × Number of oranges distributed to each child

= 210 × 1

= 210 oranges

Number of biscuits distributed = Number of children × Number of biscuits distributed to each child

= 210 × 5

= 1050 biscuits

Number of bananas distributed

= Total number of children – Number of children who do not take a banana

= 210 – 38

= 172
