90 days. After 20 days, 50 soldiers left the army base.

remaining soldiers consume food at the same rate?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An army base had provisions for 300 soldiers for  90 days. After 20 days, there should be provisions enough for 300 soldiers for another 70 days

= 21000 soldier-day

50 soldiers left so there are 300-50 = 250 soldiers left

if they consume food at the same rate, the remaining provisions will last

= 21000/250

= 84 days
