Yen and Sabrina had the
same number of caramel apples at first. Yen gave 40 caramel apples away to her brother. In the end, Sabrina had five times as many caramel apples as Yen. How many caramel apples did Yen have at first?

| Change |
- 40 |

| After |
1 u |
5 u |
The number of caramel apples that Sabrina had remains unchanged.
Number of caramel apples that Yen gave away
= 5 u - 1 u
= 4 u
4 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 4 = 10
Number of caramel apples that Yen had at first
= 5 u
= 5 x 10
= 50
Answer(s): 50
