David and Jaslyn had the same number of chocolate bars. After Jaslyn gave away 22 chocolate bars and David gave away 46 chocolate bars, Jaslyn had 5 times as many chocolate bars as David. How many chocolate bars did each of them have at first?
| |
David |
Jaslyn |
| Before |
1 u + 46 |
5 u + 22 |
| Change |
- 46 |
- 22 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
The number of chocolate bars that David and Jaslyn had at first is the same.
5 u + 22 = 1 u + 46
5 u - 1 u = 46 - 22
4 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 4 = 6
Number of chocolate bars that each of them had at first
= 1 u + 46
= 6 + 46
= 52
Answer(s): 52
