Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 436.
Explanation :
Each student got the chocolates equal to 16% of the number of students
i.e. 16% of 50 = 8 chocolates
The total chocolates recieved by the students = 50 × 8 = 400.
Each teacher got the chocolates equal to 12% of the number of students
i.e. 12% of 50 = 6 chocolate
The total chocolates recieved by the teachers = 6 × 6 = 36.
Hence the total chocolates recieved = 400 + 36 = 436.
