Bilal and Charlie have some sweets. Bilal has 4 times as many sweets as Charlie. Bilal gives Charlie 15 of his sweets and now they have the same amount. How many sweets do they have altogether?

Respuesta :

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of sweets they do have altogether is as follows:

Let us assume Charlie sweets be x

So bilal sweets is 4x

Now Bilal gives Charlie 15 of his sweets due to which they must have the same amount

4x - 15 = x + 15

4x -x = 15 + 15

3x = 30

x = 10 = Charlie sweets

Bilal sweets = 4x = 4(10) = 40

So the total no of sweets held by them is 50
