A problem on meal and persons

Help required to solve math homework

In a camp there is a meal for 120 men or 200 children. If 150 children have taken the meal, how many men will be catered to with the remaining meal?

[jackwilson]

200 children = 120 men
1 children = 120/200
150 children = 120/200*150 men
150 children = 90 men

120-90=30

So 30 men can eat now.

150 children means 75% used and 25% left.....25% of 120 is 30...

As you have mentioned in your question that 120 men = 200 children.
So 1 child = 120/200
150 children = 120/200*150
=> 90
so total 120 men - 90 men
120-90= 30

so from the remaining meal, 30 men can eat probably.
