Answer:

8 days

Explanation:

Assuming the number of days is inversely proportional to the number of people, increasing the number of people by a factor of 25/20 = 5/4 will decrease the number of days by the factor 4/5.

(4/5)(10 days) = 8 days

The provisions will last 8 days if 5 more people join the camp.
