Question

6. In a camp 1500 students have provisions for
16 days. At the end of 4 days, 300 students
leave the camp. How long will the provision
now last?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Provision now will last for 15 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given number of students = 1500

Days = 16

At the end of 4 days, 300 students leave the camp then,

Remaining students = 1200

Let provision will last for x days.

Then, according to question

1500*16 = 1500*4 + 1200*x

24000 = 6000 + 1200*x

18000 = 1200*x

x = 15

Thus, now provision will last for 15 more days.
