Ivan and Dylan shared equally a bunch of rambutans. After Ivan had eaten 34 of his rambutans and Dylan had eaten 22 of his, Dylan had 4 times as many rambutans left as Ivan. How many rambutans had each of them at first?
| |
Ivan |
Dylan |
| Before |
1 u + 34 |
4 u + 22 |
| Change |
- 34 |
- 22 |
| After |
1 u |
4 u |
Number of rambutans each had at first was the same.
4 u + 22 = 1 u + 34
4 u - 1 u = 34 - 22
3 u = 12
1 u = 12 ÷ 3 = 4
Number of rambutans that they had each at first
= 1 u + 34
= 4 + 34
= 38
Answer(s): 38
