Andy and Tammy had the same number of caramel apples. After Tammy gave away 22 caramel apples and Andy gave away 45 caramel apples, Tammy had 2 times as many caramel apples as Andy. How many caramel apples did each of them have at first?
| |
Andy |
Tammy |
| Before |
1 u + 45 |
2 u + 22 |
| Change |
- 45 |
- 22 |
| After |
1 u |
2 u |
The number of caramel apples that Andy and Tammy had at first is the same.
2 u + 22 = 1 u + 45
2 u - 1 u = 45 - 22
1 u = 23
1 u = 23 ÷ 1 = 23
Number of caramel apples that each of them had at first
= 1 u + 45
= 23 + 45
= 68
Answer(s): 68
