Answer:
"no additional days of food need to be ordered."
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose initial quantity of food is x units
Assuming each student eats 1 unit of food per day,
x = 30 * 100 = 3000 units of food
In 2 days, food eaten:
100 * 1 * 2 = 200 units
So food left after 2 days is 3000 - 200 = 2800 units
Now, there are 140 students. They stay 2 weeks (14 days) - 2 = 12 more days
So food eaten in 12 days:
140 * 1 * 12 = 1680 units
<u>THus, after total 14 days gone, the amount of food left is:</u>
2800 - 1680 = 1120 units
Half students left, so there are 70 students left for the last 16 days. How much food would they need?
70 * 1 * 16 = 1120 units
And there are exactly 1120 units left. So, no additional days of food need to be ordered.
= 36
