Question

Anagha's mother bought an equal number of ladoos and pedas. She put 13 of the ladoos and 15 of the pedas into a packet and gave it to Anagha to distribute at school. If there were a total of 80 sweets in the packet, how many ladoos did Anagha's mother buy?

Answer 1

150

Explanation:

Anagha's mother bought an equal number of ladoos and pedas. Let there are x number of ladoos and pedas.

She puts x/3 of the ladoos and x/5 of the pedas into a packet and gave it to Anagha to distribute at school.

Total no of sweets in the packet = 80

`(x)/(3)+(x)/(5)=80\\\\(5x+3x)/(15)=80\\\\(8x)/(15)=80\\\\x=(80* 15)/(8)\\\\x=150`

So, there are 150 ladoos brought by Anagha's mother.
