Each chaperone received a snack pack with items equal to 25% of the total number of students. How many snack items were distributed in total?

• A. 1750
• B. 1525
• C. 1650
• D. 1800

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 1750

Let's calculate the total number of snack items distributed.

Students

• Total students = 100

• Each student receives items equal to 15% of 100:

$15\% \times 100 = 15$

• Total items for students:

$100 \times 15 = 1500$

Chaperones

• Total chaperones = 10

• Each chaperone receives items equal to 25% of 100:

$25\% \times 100 = 25$

• Total items for chaperones:

$10 \times 25 = 250$

Total snack items distributed

$1500 + 250 = 1750$
$\boxed{1750}$

1750 snack items.
