358

When sweets are distributed among 25 children & each children get 'x' sweet, then total sweets=25x+8
When sweets are distributed among 28 children & each children get 'y' sweet, then total sweets=28y+22
As number of sweets in both the cases are same, so 25x+8=28y+22 or x=(28y+14)/25
Checking for arbitrary value of 'x' & 'y', for y=12, x=14
So total number of sweets =25x+8=25*14+8=358 or 28y+22=28*12+22=358
