    Explanation

    Let every student was supposed to get n sweets Then total number of sweets = 112 × n Now, every student got 6 extra sweets so they got (n+6) sweets and 32 children were absent. Now, total number of sweets = 80 × (n+6) Hence, 112 × n = 80 × (n+6) 112n – 80n = 80 × 6 32n = 80 × 6 n = 15
