Answer: 25 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The original number of students in the hostel was 50, and now it is 80 because 30 joined. So the original number of students was 5/8 of what it is now.

I use the inverse formula the number of days the food will last.

40 * 5/8 = 200/8 = 25

If there are 80 students, then the food will only last for 25 days.
