Answer» Answer: 10 Step-by-step EXPLANATION: LET the TOTAL no. of toffies be X then, toffies given to elder son = x/3 remaining toffies = x- x/3 = 2x/3 toffies given to younger son = 1/4 × 2x/3 = x/6 still 30 toffies are left. A/q x/3 + x/6 + 30 = x x - x/3 - x/6 = 30 (6x - 2x - x)/6 = 30 3x/6 = 30 x = 30 × 6/3 x = 60 total toffies = 60 toffies given to younger son = x/6 = 60/6 = 10 |
