Let’s solve this step by step and explain it in a simple way!

Step 1: Understand the situation

• Miss Lim has 25 pupils in her class.
• She bought some sweets for everyone.
• 2 pupils did not take sweets, so only 23 pupils got the sweets.
• The remaining 23 pupils could take 4 more sweets each because those 2 pupils didn’t take any.

Step 2: What happens when 2 pupils don’t take sweets?

If each of the 23 pupils gets 4 more sweets, that means 23 × 4 sweets are extra.
So, 23 × 4 = 92 sweets are shared among the 23 pupils because the 2 pupils didn’t take any.

Step 3: Total sweets Miss Lim bought

The sweets Miss Lim bought were enough for all 25 pupils to have the same number of sweets. This means the 92 sweets that were given as extra to the 23 pupils were actually meant for the 2 pupils who didn’t take any.

So, the total number of sweets Miss Lim bought was:

• The sweets for the 23 pupils: (original amount they got).
• Plus the extra 92 sweets.

Step 4: Conclusion

Miss Lim bought enough sweets for all 25 pupils, but the 2 pupils who didn’t take sweets caused 92 extra sweets to be given out. So the total sweets Miss Lim bought is 23 pupils × (the same original number of sweets as everyone got) + 92. By thinking this way, the answer must be calculated considering what 4 extra means to her overall. ***
