Answer 2

Now, 128 people can be fed soup.

Given:

Soup given to each person= 4 ladles

Total people fed= 160

New amount of soup given to each person= 5 ladles

To Find:

Number of people that can be fed when the serving got changed from 4 to 5 ladles of soup per person.

Solution:

In the first case,

Total soup available= 4 X 160= 640 ladles

New amount of soup given to each person= 5 ladles

So the total amount of soup will not change, just the serving per person is changing.

Total people that can be fed= 640/5= 128

Hence, with the cook's decision to give 5 ladles of soup per person, 128 people can now be fed.
