The brown gerbil eats 30 pallets each day. The brown gerbil eats 10 less than 4 times the number of pallets as the tan gerbil. The family has 200 pallets of food left. For how many days can they feed both of the gerbils ?

5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pallets that the tan gerbil eat be x.

Since the brown gerbil eats 10 less than 4 times the number of pallets as the tan gerbil and eats 30 pallets pee day. This will be:

(4 × x) - 10 = 30

4x - 10 = 30

4x = 30 + 10.

4x = 40

x = 40/4

x = 10

The tan gerbil eats 10 pallets per day.

Both gerbil eats (30 + 10) = 40 gerbils per day.

Since the family has 200 pallets of food left, the number of days that they can feed both of the gerbils would be:

= 200 / 40

= 5 days
