Assume the total no. of sweets with Pradesh be 'x'initially.
He gave away 8 sweets to his friends,means he has left with (x-8) no. of sweets with him.
 
Guess the next step?
 
Yes, (x-8) = 1 fifth x
Multiply both sides by 5. The equation simplifies to,
5x - 40 = x
4x= 40
x = 10.
 
Initially, he had 10 sweets with him.
