Warren and Glen shared equally a bunch of rambutans. After Warren had eaten 46 of his rambutans and Glen had eaten 16 of his, Glen had 7 times as many rambutans left as Warren. How many rambutans had each of them at first?
| |
Warren |
Glen |
| Before |
1 u + 46 |
7 u + 16 |
| Change |
- 46 |
- 16 |
| After |
1 u |
7 u |
Number of rambutans each had at first was the same.
7 u + 16 = 1 u + 46
7 u - 1 u = 46 - 16
6 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 6 = 5
Number of rambutans that they had each at first
= 1 u + 46
= 5 + 46
= 51
Answer(s): 51
