30 men can do a work in 40 days . when should 14 men leave the work so that the entire work is completed in 40 days after they leave the work ?
"total work to be done = 30 * 40 = 1200 let 14 men leave the work after ' p ' days , so that the remaining work is completed in 40 days after they leave the work . 40 p + ( 14 * 40 ) = 1200 40 p = 640 = > p = 16 days answer : b"
a = 30 * 40 b = 40 * 14 c = a - b d = c / 40
a ) 22 , b ) 56.25 , c ) 78 , d ) 33 , e ) 25

multiply(const_100, divide(subtract(const_100, divide(multiply(const_100, 32), 50)), divide(multiply(const_100, 32), 50)))
if the cost price of 50 articles is equal to the selling price of 32 articles , then the gain or loss percent is ?
"given that , cost price of 50 article is equal to selling price of 32 articles . let cost price of one article = rs . 1 selling price of 32 articles = rs . 50 but cost price of 32 articles = rs . 32 therefore , the trader made profit . \ percentage of profit = 18 / 32 * 100 = 56.25 % answer : b"
a = 100 * 32 b = a / 50 c = 100 - b d = 100 * 32 e = d / 50 f = c / e g = 100 * f
a ) 1 , b ) 2 , c ) 3 , d ) 6 , e ) 7

floor(divide(23, 7))
on dividing 23 by a number , the quotient is 7 and the remainder is 2 . find the divisor .
"d = ( d - r ) / q = ( 23 - 2 ) / 7 = 21 / 7 = 3 c"
a = 23 / 7 b = math.floor(a)
