Daniel and Tammy had the same number of caramel apples. After Tammy gave away 17 caramel apples and Daniel gave away 50 caramel apples, Tammy had 2 times as many caramel apples as Daniel. How many caramel apples did each of them have at first?
| |
Daniel |
Tammy |
| Before |
1 u + 50 |
2 u + 17 |
| Change |
- 50 |
- 17 |
| After |
1 u |
2 u |
The number of caramel apples that Daniel and Tammy had at first is the same.
2 u + 17 = 1 u + 50
2 u - 1 u = 50 - 17
1 u = 33
1 u = 33 ÷ 1 = 33
Number of caramel apples that each of them had at first
= 1 u + 50
= 33 + 50
= 83
Answer(s): 83
