Fred and Anna share some erasers.
47 of Fred's erasers is equal to
49 of Anna's erasers. Given that Fred has 14 erasers less than Anna, how many erasers do they have altogether?
47 of Fred's erasers = 49 of Anna's erasers
Number of Fred's erasers = 7 u
Number of Anna's erasers = 9 u
Number of erasers that Fred has less than Anna
= 9 u - 7 u
= 2 u
2 u = 14
1 u = 14 ÷ 2 = 7
Total number of erasers
= 7 u + 9 u
= 16 u
= 16 x 7
= 112
Answer(s): 112
