There is food for men for days. How many more men should join after two days so that the same food may last for days more?

Calculated Answer

190

Step by Step Solution

In order to solve problem, you must evaluate (n₀ * (n₁ - 2)) / n₂ - n₀.

n₀ =	760
n₁ =	22
n₂ =	16

(n₀ * (n₁ - 2)) / n₂ - n₀
Evaluate n₁ - 2 = 20
(n₀ * 20) / n₂ - n₀
Evaluate n₀ * 20 = 15200
15200 / n₂ - n₀
Evaluate 15200 / n₂ = 950
950 - n₀
Evaluate 950 - n₀ = 190
190
The answer to the problem and the result of (n₀ * (n₁ - 2)) / n₂ - n₀ is 190
