↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

Number of men at the beginning = 900

Current number of days = 50 - 8 = 42

New number of men = 900 + 500 = 1400

Number of men | 900 | 1400
Number of days | 42 | x

It is a case of inverse variation

→ 900 × 42 = 1400 × x
→ x = 900 × 42 / 1400
→ x = 27

Therefore, the food will now last for 27 days....
