Out of the total toffee, are wasted, 35% of the rest are given to S and of the total are given to N. If the toffee with N are 10 more than wasted toffee, then how many toffee are given to S?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 126.
Let the total number of toffees be 40x.
Wasted toffees = 40x × 1/10 = 4x
Toffees given to S = (40x - 4x) × 35/100
⇒ 36 × 35/100 = 12.6x
Toffees given to N = 40x × 1/8 = 5x
Given, 5x - 4x = 10
⇒ x = 10
Toffees given to S = 12.6 ×10 = 126
