Step-by-step explanation:
Let’s assume that the athletes eat food packets three times a day
3 meals a day
3 meals a day25 days
3 meals a day25 days45 athletes
3 meals a day25 days45 athletes3x25x45 = 3375 food packets
3 meals a day25 days45 athletes3x25x45 = 3375 food packetsIn 5 days they used following packets
3 meals a day25 days45 athletes3x25x45 = 3375 food packetsIn 5 days they used following packets5 days x 3 meals x 45 athletes = 675 meals
3 meals a day25 days45 athletes3x25x45 = 3375 food packetsIn 5 days they used following packets5 days x 3 meals x 45 athletes = 675 mealsSo 675 meals have been used
3 meals a day25 days45 athletes3x25x45 = 3375 food packetsIn 5 days they used following packets5 days x 3 meals x 45 athletes = 675 mealsSo 675 meals have been usedSo the camp is left with 3375–675=2700 meals
