On Independence Day, bananas were distributed equally among all the students in a school so that each student would receive two bananas. However, 360 students were absent that day, resulting in each present student receiving two additional bananas. What is the total number of students enrolled in the school?
Explanation
Let the total number of students be x. The total bananas distributed is 2x. With 360 students absent, the bananas are shared among (x - 360) students, giving each (2 + 2) = 4 bananas. So, 2x / (x - 360) = 4. Solving this: 2x = 4(x - 360) => 2x = 4x - 1440 => 1440 = 2x => x = 720. Since 720 is not listed, the correct answer is 'None of the above'.
