a can finish a work in 24 days and b can do the same work in 15 days. b worked for 10 days and left the job. in how many days, a alone can finish the remaining work?
divide(multiply(multiply(divide(const_1, 15), 10), 24), const_2)
"b ' s 10 day ' s work = ( 1 x 10 ) = 2 . 15 3 remaining work = ( 1 - 2 ) = 1 . 3 3 now , 1 work is done by a in 1 day . 24 therefore 1 work is done by a in ( 24 x 1 ) = 8 days . e"
