Lee and Roshel had the same number of caramel apples. After Roshel gave away 19 caramel apples and Lee gave away 49 caramel apples, Roshel had 2 times as many caramel apples as Lee. How many caramel apples did each of them have at first?
| |
Lee |
Roshel |
| Before |
1 u + 49 |
2 u + 19 |
| Change |
- 49 |
- 19 |
| After |
1 u |
2 u |
The number of caramel apples that Lee and Roshel had at first is the same.
2 u + 19 = 1 u + 49
2 u - 1 u = 49 - 19
1 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 1 = 30
Number of caramel apples that each of them had at first
= 1 u + 49
= 30 + 49
= 79
Answer(s): 79
