Question

in a camp the provision is there for 500 scouts for 12 days . instead of 500 there are 600 scouts, how long will this provision last​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The first 5 days 300 people consume 5*300=1500 units of food.

There is now 11 100 units left.

Another 20 people show up. Food is now consumed at a rate of 320 units/day.

11100/320=34.6875 days.

Everyone will be fed for 39 days and roughly two thirds get fed on day 40.

Thanks!!
