Daniel and Fabian shared equally a bunch of grapes. After Daniel had eaten 35 of his grapes and Fabian had eaten 11 of his, Fabian had 7 times as many grapes left as Daniel. How many grapes had each of them at first?
| |
Daniel |
Fabian |
| Before |
1 u + 35 |
7 u + 11 |
| Change |
- 35 |
- 11 |
| After |
1 u |
7 u |
Number of grapes each had at first was the same.
7 u + 11 = 1 u + 35
7 u - 1 u = 35 - 11
6 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 6 = 4
Number of grapes that they had each at first
= 1 u + 35
= 4 + 35
= 39
Answer(s): 39
