All about food................
A number of workers in their tea time went to a tea shop and took tea and snacks. At the end , they decided to split their bill evenly. If each contributes Rs.16, they found they were Rs.4 short. But if each contributes Rs.19, they had enough to pay the bill, 15% left for the tip and Rs.2 left over. How many workers are there?
The answer is 11.

Let the no of workers be x, Let the bill be B: 16x = B - 4 => 18.4x = 1.15B - 4.6, 19x = 1.15B + 2. 0.6x = 6.6 x = 11.
