Question

in a camp,there were enough food to feed 1200 people for 28 days.after 4 days some people left the camp and hence the food lasted for 32 days. how many people left the camp

Answer 1

Let x be the people lest the camp

Remaining people = (1200-x)

Remaining days = (28-4)=24 days

According to question

1200/(1200-x)=32/24

1200*24=(1200-x)*32

28800=38400-32x

32x=38400-28800=9600

x=9600/32=300

So 300 people left the camp.

Hope it helps u.
