Nick and Jaslyn had the same number of chocolate bars. After Jaslyn gave away 22 chocolate bars and Nick gave away 41 chocolate bars, Jaslyn had 2 times as many chocolate bars as Nick. How many chocolate bars did each of them have at first?
| |
Nick |
Jaslyn |
| Before |
1 u + 41 |
2 u + 22 |
| Change |
- 41 |
- 22 |
| After |
1 u |
2 u |
The number of chocolate bars that Nick and Jaslyn had at first is the same.
2 u + 22 = 1 u + 41
2 u - 1 u = 41 - 22
1 u = 19
1 u = 19 ÷ 1 = 19
Number of chocolate bars that each of them had at first
= 1 u + 41
= 19 + 41
= 60
Answer(s): 60
