Book Maths Puzzle

I have a certain number of apples to be divided equally among 18 children. If the number of apples and the number of children were increased by 2, each child would get 5 apples less. How many apples have to distribute?

Read Solution (Total 1)

918

If initially each child got x apples, then
18x +2 = 20*(x-5)
solving it, we get
x= 51
so no of apples = 51*18= 918
