Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Total wasted toffees = (1/10) × Total toffees
Toffees got by S = 35% of remaining toffees
Toffees got by N = (1/8) of total toffees
Calculation:
Let the total toffees = 200 units
Total wasted toffees = 200 × (1/10) = 20 units
Remaining toffees = (200 - 20) = 180 units
Total toffees S had = 180 × 35% = 63 units
Total toffees N had = (1/8) × 200 = 25 units
According to the question:
⇒ (25 - 20) units = 5 units = 10 toffees
⇒ 1 units = 2 toffees
Total toffees S had = 63 units = 63 × 2 = 126 toffees
∴ The correct answer is 126 toffees.
