Analyzing Question:
Let the total number of sweets prepared is n and the total participant is x,
n sweets is given for x friends with 6 each.
6x=n
n-23 sweets is given for x+1 friends with 5 each.
5(x+1)=n-23
5x-5=n-23
Before have more one participant, 6x=n.
After have one more participant, Therefore, 5x-5=n-23
Sub equation {6x=n} into {5x-5=n-23}
5x-5=6x-23
18=x
As conclusion, total number of sweets, n=6x
Sub x=18 into n=6x
n=6 18
n=108
Total number of sweets had prepared is 108.
