Roshel and Abi had the
same number of caramel apples at first. Roshel gave 24 caramel apples away to her sister. In the end, Abi had four times as many caramel apples as Roshel. How many caramel apples did Roshel have at first?

Roshel |
Abi |
| Before |
4 u |
4 u |
| Change |
- 24 |
|
| After |
1 u |
4 u |
The number of caramel apples that Abi had remains unchanged.
Number of caramel apples that Roshel gave away
= 4 u - 1 u
= 3 u
3 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
Number of caramel apples that Roshel had at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 8
= 32
Answer(s): 32
