Rael and Winnie had the same number of caramel apples. After Winnie gave away 14 caramel apples and Rael gave away 41 caramel apples, Winnie had 2 times as many caramel apples as Rael. How many caramel apples did each of them have at first?
| |
Rael |
Winnie |
| Before |
1 u + 41 |
2 u + 14 |
| Change |
- 41 |
- 14 |
| After |
1 u |
2 u |
The number of caramel apples that Rael and Winnie had at first is the same.
2 u + 14 = 1 u + 41
2 u - 1 u = 41 - 14
1 u = 27
1 u = 27 ÷ 1 = 27
Number of caramel apples that each of them had at first
= 1 u + 41
= 27 + 41
= 68
Answer(s): 68
