No idea. Not enough info. Surely you didn't copy the whole problem.
perhaps you mean
300 people can survive on an amount food for 90 days
If after 20 days 50 people join then how many days they will eat ?
300*90=27000 food days
300 eat for 20 days=6000 food days
leaving 21000 food days for 350 people
21000/350=60
They can survive for 60 more days
