Q:

In a class of 80 students and 5 teachers, each student got shopping coupons that are 15% of the total number of students and each teacher got shopping coupons, that are 25% of the total number of students. How many shopping coupons were there?

A) 960 B) 1000

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1060

Given total number of students = 80

Total teachers = 5

Number of coupons each student got = 15 x 80/100 = 12

Number of coupons each teacher got = 25 x 80/100 = 20

 

Therefore, total number of shopping coupons = 80 x 12 + 5 x 20 = 960 + 100 = 1060.
