Question

On birthday, Oliver equally distributed $1,525$ chocolates among her $25$ classmates. How many chocolates will each of her friends get ?

• A. $65$
• B. $61$
• C. $55$
• D. $51$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $61$

$\bullet$ Total number of chocolates available $=1,525$
$\bullet$ Total number of students $=25$
$\therefore$ The number of chocolates that each of Oliver's classmates would get $=1,525÷25$

$1,525÷25$ can be evaluated as:


$\therefore 1,525÷25=61\text{R}0$

Hence, Oliver distributed $1,525$ chocolates among her $25$ classmates without any remaining chocolate (as $1,525÷25$ gives remainder as $0$), and each of her classmates get a big bunch of $61$ chocolates (as $1,525÷25$ gives quotient as $61$).

$\underset{–}{\text{Note:}}$

In $1,525÷25=61\text{R}0,$
$\bullet$ Dividend $=1,5$$25$
$\bullet$ Divisor $=25$
$\bullet$ Quotient $=61$
$\bullet$ Remainder $=0$

Now,
$(\text{Divisor}\times \text{Quotient})+\text{Remainder}$
$=(25\times 61)+0$
$=1,525=\text{Dividend}$

$\therefore (\text{Divisor}\times \text{Quotient})+\text{Remainder}=\text{Dividend}$
