Question

Chandran bought a butter packet, on which it was written - "Best before 180 days from the date of packing". If the date of packing was 15/01/06, then what is the expiry date of the butter?

Answer 1

Let us calculate 180 days from the date of manufacturing.

Days remaining in January = 17 days

In February = 28 days

In March = 31 days

In April = 30 days

In May = 31 days

In June = 30 days

Total days = 17 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 = 167 days

Remaining days = 180 – 167 = 13 days

Hence, the expiry date will be 13^th July 2006.
