Glen and Kylie had the same number of lollipops. After Kylie gave away 13 lollipops and Glen gave away 37 lollipops, Kylie had 4 times as many lollipops as Glen. How many lollipops did each of them have at first?
| |
Glen |
Kylie |
| Before |
1 u + 37 |
4 u + 13 |
| Change |
- 37 |
- 13 |
| After |
1 u |
4 u |
The number of lollipops that Glen and Kylie had at first is the same.
4 u + 13 = 1 u + 37
4 u - 1 u = 37 - 13
3 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
Number of lollipops that each of them had at first
= 1 u + 37
= 8 + 37
= 45
Answer(s): 45
