Answer 2

Given: On Monday morning Mr. Lalchand has 119 cups in his shop. He sells 23 cups and just when he was about to close the shop for the day he receives 55 new cups from his distributor. If on an average he sells 20 cups per day.

To find: how many days will his stock as on Tuesday morning last, assuming that he does not receive any more cups from his distributor.

Solution:

According to the question, Mr. Lalchand has a total of 119 cups. He sells 23 cups so the number of cups left with him is

$119 - 23 = 96$

Now, he receives 55 cups from the distributor so the total number of cups he has is

$96 + 55 = 151$

Since now he has a total of 151 cups and he sells 20 cups a day on average, the number of days the cups will last is

$\frac{151}{20} = 7.55$

Therefore, his stocks will last for 7.5 days.
