Question

In a college of $300$ students, every student reads $5$ newspapers and $60$ students read every newspaper. The number of newspapers is ______

Answer 1

Determine the number of newspapers:

It is given that, the number of students is $300$.

The number of students, who read newspapers is $60$.

Every student reads $5$ newspapers.

Let, the number of newspapers be $x$.

Thus, the number of students is,$\frac{x\times 60}{5}=300$

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow x\times 60=300\times 5 \\ \Rightarrow x\times 60=1500 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{1500}{60} \\ \Rightarrow x=25 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the number of newspapers is $25$.
