Class R, S and T were given some lollipops to sell for their donation drive. The average number of lollipops the 3 classes had at first was 202. After Class S sold twice as many lollipops as Class R and Class T sold
34 as many lollipops as Class S, the average number of lollipops the 3 classes had left was 55. How many lollipops did Class R and Class T sell altogether?
Class R |
Class S |
Class T |
1x2 |
2x2 |
|
|
4x1 |
3x1 |
2 u |
4 u |
3 u |
Class R : Class S : Class T
2 : 4 : 3
Total number of lollipops that the 3 classes had at first
= 3 x 202
= 606
Number of lollipops that the 3 classes left
= 3 x 55
= 165
Number of lollipops that were sold by 3 classes
= 606 - 165
= 441
2 u + 4 u + 3 u = 441
9 u = 441
1 u = 441 ÷ 9 = 49
Total number of lollipops sold by Class R and Class T
= 2 u + 3 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 49
= 245
Answer(s): 245
