Julie and Fanny had the
same number of chocolate bars at first. Julie gave 8 chocolate bars away to her sister. In the end, Fanny had five times as many chocolate bars as Julie. How many chocolate bars did Julie have at first?

After |
1 u |
5 u |
The number of chocolate bars that Fanny had remains unchanged.
Number of chocolate bars that Julie gave away
= 5 u - 1 u
= 4 u
4 u = 8
1 u = 8 ÷ 4 = 2
Number of chocolate bars that Julie had at first
= 5 u
= 5 x 2
= 10
Answer(s): 10
