Question

A group of 156 tourists had enough food for a stay of 125 days in a mountain. however just before they left, n tourists left the group, this meant that the group had enough food to lengthen their stay for another 70 days. how many left the group?

please show your steps.

Answer 1

It is an inverse relationship.

There is enough food for 156*125=19500 person-days.
If the food can last (125+70)=195 days, there are
19500 person-days / (195 days)
= 100 persons
