Question

Two friends, Akash & Beenu had some candies each. One of them had $15$ candies more than the other. The candies with Akash was $60\%$ of the total candies with them. How many candies did each have?

Answer 1

Let the candies with be$(x+15)$ and $x.$

$\therefore$ $x+15=\frac{60}{100}(x+15+x)$

$(x+15)=\frac{3}{5}(2x+15)$

$5x+75=6x+45$

$x=30$

So, the marks of two students are $45$ and $30$
