Vincent and Julian shared equally a bunch of rambutans. After Vincent had eaten 35 of his rambutans and Julian had eaten 13 of his, Julian had 3 times as many rambutans left as Vincent. How many rambutans had each of them at first?
| |
Vincent |
Julian |
| Before |
1 u + 35 |
3 u + 13 |
| Change |
- 35 |
- 13 |
| After |
1 u |
3 u |
Number of rambutans each had at first was the same.
3 u + 13 = 1 u + 35
3 u - 1 u = 35 - 13
2 u = 22
1 u = 22 ÷ 2 = 11
Number of rambutans that they had each at first
= 1 u + 35
= 11 + 35
= 46
Answer(s): 46
