In a fort,300 men had provisions for 90 days.After 20 days,50 men left the fort.How long would the food last at the same rate?

 

Please help with a hint.

300 men x 90 days = 27000 man- days of provisions

 

300 men x 20 days = 6000 man days of provisions   leaving   21000 man days of provisions

 

21000 m-d / 250m =  84 days    remaining
