Question

In a camp, food is sufficient for 700 soldiers for 45
days. If half of the soldiers leave after 10 days, then
find out for how many days more food will last.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let us say that a soldier eats 'n' units of food in a day.

Total ration available = 100 soldiers * 10 days * n = 1000n

In 2 days, 100 soldiers would consume = 100n*2 = 200n

Remaining food = 1000n - 200n = 800n

Number of soldiers = 100 + 60 = 160

Amount of food these soldiers will eat in a day = 160n

Number of days the food will last = 800n / 160n = 5 days
