Problem: Ranjana wants to distribute 540 oranges among some students. If 30 students were more each would get 3 oranges less. Find the number of students.
Solution:
Let the total number of students be 'x'.
Therefore, each student will get = 540/x oranges.
If there were 30 more students, total number of students would be (x + 30).
Therefore, each student would get = 540/(x + 30) oranges.
It is given that if there were 30 more students, each student would get 3 less oranges.
So, we can form the following equation:
540/x - 3 = 540/(x + 30)
Simplifying the above equation, we get:
540(x + 30) - 3x(x + 30) = 540x
Distributing and solving for x, we get:
x = 90
Therefore, the total number of students is 90.
Answer: The number of students is 90.
