If the sum of money is divided among ‘n’ children, each child will receive $60. If another child is added to the group and the amount is distributed again each child will receive $50. What is the sum of money to be distributed?
Let the money be = Y
If the sum of money is divided among ‘n’ children, each child will receive $60
Y ÷ n = 60 Y = 60n (eqn 1)
If another child is added to the group and the amount is distributed again each child will receive $50
Y ÷ (n+1) = 50 Y = 50 * (n+1) Y = 50n + 50 (eqn 2)
putting (eqn 1) into (eqn 2) 60n = 50n + 50 60n - 50n = 50 10n = 50 n = 50 ÷ 10 n = 5
Remember "n" is the number of children, but the question says What is the sum of money to be distributed?. So what will are looking for is Y, not "n".

From (eqn 1) Y = 60n Y = 60 * 5 Y = 300
Answer: $300

The lead from Wall Street offers little clarity as the major averages opened lower on Friday and then bounced back and forth across the unchanged line, finally finishing mixed and little changed.The Dow added 33.18 points or 0.10 percent to finish at 34,798.00, while the NASDAQ eased 4.54 points or 0.03 percent to close at 15,047.70 and the S&P 500 rose 6.50 points or 0.15 percent to end at 4,455.48.

Tata Power whose core business is to generate, transmit and distribute electricity has made no money to investors in the last one decade. That is a big blunder considering it is one of the largest power generation companies in the country. One of the reasons is the company's huge debt levels which stood at ₹43,559 crore at the end of March 2021 compared to the company’s market capitalisation of ₹44,447 crore.
