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.

Respuesta :

Answer:

9 cakes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cakes = x

Let the number of persons = y

y = [tex]\frac{540}{x}[/tex]

Since x = [tex](\frac{15}{100})y[/tex]

[tex]\frac{540}{\frac{15}{100}}y[/tex] = y

y² = [tex]\frac{(540\time 100}{15})y[/tex] = 3600

y = ±√3600

y = 60    [60 persons]

x = [tex]\frac{540}{60}[/tex] = 9

9 cakes given to each person.
