Class N, P and Q were given some chocolate bars to sell for their charity drive. The average number of chocolate bars the 3 classes had at first was 201. After Class P sold twice as many chocolate bars as Class N and Class Q sold
34 as many chocolate bars as Class P, the average number of chocolate bars the 3 classes had left was 51. How many chocolate bars did Class N and Class Q sell altogether?
Class N |
Class P |
Class Q |
1x2 |
2x2 |
|
|
4x1 |
3x1 |
2 u |
4 u |
3 u |
Class N : Class P : Class Q
2 : 4 : 3
Total number of chocolate bars that the 3 classes had at first
= 3 x 201
= 603
Number of chocolate bars that the 3 classes left
= 3 x 51
= 153
Number of chocolate bars that were sold by 3 classes
= 603 - 153
= 450
2 u + 4 u + 3 u = 450
9 u = 450
1 u = 450 ÷ 9 = 50
Total number of chocolate bars sold by Class N and Class Q
= 2 u + 3 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 50
= 250
Answer(s): 250
