.

Let x be the number of days.


Then you have this equation


   230x + 240 = 190x + 720.


From the equation


    230x - 190x = 720 - 240 

    40x         = 480

      x         = 480/40 = 12 days.    ANSWER

Solved.

@IKLEYN made a mistake. It's actually highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C2%2C+12%2C+days%29%29.
