Question

The host charges Rs. 6300 for 35 sthdents for 24 days. In how many days will the host charges be Rs. 3375 for 25 students?

Answer 1

`18` days. Find the individual rate and work backwards.

Explanation:

We know the rate is

Rs. `6300` per `35` students per `24` days

To find the rate per day we divide by `24`. Now the rate is:

Rs. `262.5` per `35` students per day

To find the rate per student we divide by `35`. Now the rate is:

Rs. `7.5` per student per day

Now we work backwards. So for `25` students, we multiply by `25`:

Rs. `187.5` per `25` students per day

So that is Rs. `187.5` per day. If the host charges `3375` then we can find the number of days by dividing `3375` by `187.5`.

So, the number of days is `18`.
