Ahmad and Diana had the same number of caramel apples. After Diana gave away 13 caramel apples and Ahmad gave away 55 caramel apples, Diana had 3 times as many caramel apples as Ahmad. How many caramel apples did each of them have at first?
| |
Ahmad |
Diana |
| Before |
1 u + 55 |
3 u + 13 |
| Change |
- 55 |
- 13 |
| After |
1 u |
3 u |
The number of caramel apples that Ahmad and Diana had at first is the same.
3 u + 13 = 1 u + 55
3 u - 1 u = 55 - 13
2 u = 42
1 u = 42 ÷ 2 = 21
Number of caramel apples that each of them had at first
= 1 u + 55
= 21 + 55
= 76
Answer(s): 76
