Answer 1

Answer:

300 left

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

1200 soldiers in a fort had enough food for 28 days.

1200*28

After 4 days, some soldiers were transferred  to another fort and thus the food lasted now for 32 more days.

after 4 days,food served for 1200 for 4 days

1200*4

let x be soldiers left,

(1200-x)

and food last for only 32 days

(1200-x)*32

1200*28=1200*4+(1200-x)*32

1200*24=(1200-x)*32

x=300
