Daniel and Neave shared equally a bunch of rambutans. After Daniel had eaten 46 of his rambutans and Neave had eaten 13 of his, Neave had 4 times as many rambutans left as Daniel. How many rambutans had each of them at first?
| |
Daniel |
Neave |
| Before |
1 u + 46 |
4 u + 13 |
| Change |
- 46 |
- 13 |
| After |
1 u |
4 u |
Number of rambutans each had at first was the same.
4 u + 13 = 1 u + 46
4 u - 1 u = 46 - 13
3 u = 33
1 u = 33 ÷ 3 = 11
Number of rambutans that they had each at first
= 1 u + 46
= 11 + 46
= 57
Answer(s): 57
