Problem: a piece of work can finish by a certain number of men in 100 days . if however , there were 10 men less , it would take 10 days more for the work to be finished . how many men were there originally ?
Rationale: originally let there be x men . less men , more days ( indirect ) : . ( x - 10 ) : x : : 100 : 110 or x - 10 / x = 100 / 110 or 11 x - 110 = 10 x or x = 110 so , originally there were 110 men . answer : d
annotated_formula: divide(multiply(divide(add(100, 10), 10), 10), subtract(divide(add(100, 10), 10), 10))
