In a class of 40 students and 5 teachers, each student got sweets that are 15% of the total number of students and each teacher got sweets…

Solution
There are 40 students and 5 teachers.
Sweets received by each student = $\frac{15}{100} * 40$ = 6
=> Total sweets received by all the students = 40 * 6 = 240
Sweets received by each teacher = $\frac{20}{100} * 40$ = 8
=> Total sweets received by both teachers = 5 * 8 = 40
$\therefore$ Total sweets distributed in class = 240 + 40 = 280
