For every 3 caramel apples that Rachel has, Betty has 5 more caramel apples than her. They have 33 caramel apples altogether. How many caramel apples does Betty have?
Number of caramel apples that Betty has in 1 set
= 3 + 5
= 8
Total number of caramel apples in 1 set
= 8 + 3
= 11
Number of sets
= 33 ÷ 11
= 3
Number of caramel apples that Betty has
= 3 x 8
= 24
Answer(s): 24
