Warren and Gem had the same number of chocolate bars. After Gem gave away 13 chocolate bars and Warren gave away 41 chocolate bars, Gem had 5 times as many chocolate bars as Warren. How many chocolate bars did each of them have at first?
| |
Warren |
Gem |
| Before |
1 u + 41 |
5 u + 13 |
| Change |
- 41 |
- 13 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
The number of chocolate bars that Warren and Gem had at first is the same.
5 u + 13 = 1 u + 41
5 u - 1 u = 41 - 13
4 u = 28
1 u = 28 ÷ 4 = 7
Number of chocolate bars that each of them had at first
= 1 u + 41
= 7 + 41
= 48
Answer(s): 48
