Tommy had 70% fewer caramel apples than Neave. After Neave gave 324 caramel apples to Tommy, Tommy had ³₄ as many caramel apples as Neave. How many caramel apples did each of them have in the end?

1. Neave
2. Tommy

	Tommy	Neave	Total
Before	3x7 = 21 u	10x7 = 70 u	13x7 = 91 u
Change	+ 324	- 324
After	3x13 = 39 u	4x13 =  52 u	7x13 = 91 u

Number of caramel apples that Tommy had at first in percentage
= 100% - 70%
= 30%

30% = ³⁰₁₀₀ = ³₁₀

The total number of caramel apples at first and in the end remains unchanged. Make the total number of caramel apples the same. LCM of 7 and 13 is 91.

Number of caramel apples that Neave gave to Tommy
= 70 u - 52 u
= 18 u

18 u = 324

1 u = 324 ÷ 18 = 18

Number of caramel apples that Tommy had in the end
= 39 u
= 39 x 18
= 702

Number of caramel apples that Neave had in the end
= 52 u
= 52 x 18
= 936

Answer(s): (a) 702; (b) 936
