Question

Each of the 90 apartments in an apartment complex is having its carpet replaced. Two apartments were done on the first day, and three more were done on the second day. If five apartments can be done per day from now on, how many more days will be needed to finish the project?

Answer 1

Answer: 17 days

Explanation:

Two were done on the first day and then 3 on the second.

The number of apartments left is:

= 90 - 2 - 3

= 85 apartments

They are to be done 5 per day:

= 85 / 5

= 17 days

It would take 17 days to do the remaining at 5 apartments per day.
