This problem is posed and is formulated  INCORRECTLY.

I explained it at least  5  times before,  when the problem was posted earlier to this forum months ago.


In this form,  as it is worded,  printed,  posted and presented,  it is incorrect and  MAKES  no  SENSE.


The  "solution"  by @ewatrrr is this sense is empty and also nonsensical.


It would make sense  ONLY  IF  the number of served patients is given  EXPLICITLY  in the condition,
but in this problem  IT  IS  NOT  DEFINED,  making the problem nonsensical.


When the visitors re-post it again and again, after getting my explanations several times,
it produces really poor impression.


You,  the visitor,  must learn  THESE  TWO  THINGS  from my post :

        (a)   The person who composed this text/post/problem,  is   INCOMPETENT   in this class of problems.

        (b)   The source from which you recovered this  "problem",  DOES  NOT  DESERVE  any trust.
