Question

20 people each bring 3 food dishes to an awards banquet. The dishes are shared equally by 180 people at the banquet. How many people share 1 food dish?

Answer 1

3 people

Explanation:

If 20 people each bring 3 food dishes to an awards banquet, the total amount of food brought will be (20 * 3) = 60foods

If the dishes are shared equally by 180 people at the banquet, then;

60foods = 180 people

1 food = x

Cross multiply

60* x = 180

60x = 180

x =180/60

x = 3

Hence 3 people will share 1 dish
