Answer 1

Answer:

A hostel has 15 days of food for 300 students. If 200 students leave the hostel

due to vacations then for how many days will the food last?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of food a student eats be x.

Amount of food available= 25*40x=1000x

food left after 5 days= 1000x -5*40x=1000x- 200x= 800x

If 10 students leave the hostel, then the no. of remaining students will be 30.

No. of days the remaining food can last= 800x/30x=26.666

Ans: 26 days
