A school organized a field trip for 80 students and 8 chaperones. Each student was given a snack pack containing items equal to 20% of the total number of students. Each chaperone received a snack pack with items equal to 30% of the total number of students. How many snack items were distributed in total?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 1472
Items in each student's snack pack = 0.20 × 80 = 16
Items in each chaperone's snack pack = 0.30 × 80 = 24
Total items given to students = 80 × 16 = 1280
Total items given to chaperones = 8 × 24 = 192
Total snack items distributed = 1280 + 192 = 1472
