Answer:
1700
Step-by-step explanation:
total food available: 3300*850*32
food left = total - food consumed in 7 days
= total - 7 * 850 *3300
∴ food that can be consumed by all in rest days = 32-7 - 8( given food lasts 8 days less) is
(3300+x) * 25 * 825( new food quantity) = total - food left
thus, x=1700
