Question

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 students going to the trip = 210
Each student was given 1 orange, 1 banana and 5 biscuits.
So,
Total number of oranges distributed to 210 students = 1$\times$= 210
= 210
We know that 38 students refused to take bananas.
So,
Total number of students who took bananas = 210 − 38
= 172
Total number of bananas distributed to 172 students = 1$\times$172
= 172
Also,
Number of biscuits given to each student = 5
So,
Total number of biscuits distributed to 210 students = 210$\times$5
= 1050
So, 210 oranges, 172 bananas and 1050 biscuits were distributed among all the students going to the trip.
