Question

Khaled bought 32 cups of juice to distribute to his students. He decided to drink 2 cups himself and pour each of his students 1.25 cups. How many of his students received juice?

Answer 1

24 students

Explanation:

So we started with 32 cups of juice.

Kahled drunk 2 cups so (32-2)=30 cups is left.

If x represents the number of students he receive juice and each student gets the same amount of juice which is 1.25 cups, then we have the equation

1.25x=30 to solve for x.

Divide both sides by 1.25:

x=30/1.25

x=24

24 students receive juice
