Answer 1

GivEn:

• In a camp there are food for 500 boys for 30 days.
• Food is lasting for 30 days.

To find:

• If 100 more boys will join the camp for many days food will last?

Solution:

• It is given that, food for 500 boys will last for 30 days.

• 100 more people joined the camp. So, The total number of boys now is 600.

Let the required number of days be x.

⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀

« Finding the value of x,

→ 500 × 30 = 600 × x

→ 15000 = 600x

→ x = 15000/600

→ x = 25 days

∴ Hence, if 100 more boys will join the camp, food will last for 25 days.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given,

→ There is enough food for 30 days for 500 boys.

∴ 1 boy = 30 × 500 = 15000 days

→ Then, 100 more boys join in the camp.

So total boys = 500 + 100 = 600 boys

☞ Let number of days be x.

∴ x × 600 = 15000

=> x= 15000/600

=> x=25 days.

Hence, after 25 days will the food last.
