Solution
Let the no .of holidays be y
Spending x per day xy
Total money she has 10,000⟹xy=10,000
Similarly According to the question
(x−50)(y+10)=10,000xy+10x−50y−500=10,000x−5y−50=0x=5y+50y(5y+50)=10,000y2+10y=2000y2+50y−40y−2000=0(y−40)(y+50)=0y=40,−50⟹x=250
Let the no .of holidays be y

Total money she has 10,000
⟹xy=10,000
(x−50)(y+10)=10,000xy+10x−50y−500=10,000x−5y−50=0x=5y+50y(5y+50)=10,000y2+10y=2000y2+50y−40y−2000=0(y−40)(y+50)=0y=40,−50⟹x=250
