Question

On his birthday, Joe wants to distribute sweets to every student in his school.
If he has 2345 sweets and there are 750 students in total, how many sweets would he be left with if he wants to give each student 3 sweets?

• A. 85
• B. 100
• C. 95
• D. 75

Answer 1

The correct option is C 95

Number of students in Joe's
school = 750
Number of sweets he wants to give each student = 3

∴ Number of sweets Joe
needs = 750 × 3 = 2250

Number of sweets Joe has with
himself = 2345

∴ Number of sweets he will be left with = 2345 – 2250 = 95

So, Joe will be left with 95 sweets.
