Question

Babu has 540 cakes. He wants to distribute them equally to some persons. If the number of cakes given to each person is equal to 15% of the number of persons, find the number of cakes given to each person.

Answer 1

Answer:

9 cakes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cakes = x

Let the number of persons = y

y = $\frac{540}{x}$

Since x = $(\frac{15}{100})y$

$\frac{540}{\frac{15}{100}}y$ = y

y² = $\frac{(540\time 100}{15})y$ = 3600

y = ±√3600

y = 60    [60 persons]

x = $\frac{540}{60}$ = 9

9 cakes given to each person.
