Linda and Roshel had the
same number of caramel apples at first. Linda gave 6 caramel apples away to her sibling. In the end, Roshel had four times as many caramel apples as Linda. How many caramel apples did Linda have at first?

Linda |
Roshel |
Before |
4 u |
4 u |
Change |
- 6 |
|
After |
1 u |
4 u |
The number of caramel apples that Roshel had remains unchanged.
Number of caramel apples that Linda gave away
= 4 u - 1 u
= 3 u
3 u = 6
1 u = 6 ÷ 3 = 2
Number of caramel apples that Linda had at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 2
= 8
Answer(s): 8
