Let initially, each child was to get x chocolates, so total chocolates=180x
With 40 children absent, present children=140 and each child got (x+4) chocolates.
So, 180x = 140(x+4)
=> 9x = 7x+28
=> x=14
Hence total chocolates available=180x = 180*14 = 2520

let no. of chocolates be x
it was initially distributed amongst 180 students therefore each student used to get (x/180) chocolates.
now their are 40 less students therefore x chocolates will be distributed amongst (180-40) i.e. 140 students therefore each will get (x/140) no. of chocolates.
each student gets 4 extra chocolates therefore
(x/140)-(x/180)=4
ans. 2520

Please explain your answer properly to make it approve?Let the total no.of chocolates x
then total no.of children present 180
but total no of children expected 220
no.of extra=4 per each childe so,
(x/220)+4=(x/180)
x=3960
