Diana had an equal number of apricots and oranges at first. She sold half of the oranges and bought another 93 apricots. In the end, she had five times as many apricots as oranges. Find the number of oranges she had at first.

Oranges |
Apricots |
| Before |
2 u |
5 u - 93 |
| Change |
- 1 u |
+ 93 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
The number of apricots and oranges at first is the same.
5 u - 93 = 2 u
5 u - 2 u = 93
3 u = 93
1 u = 93 ÷ 3 = 31
Number of oranges that she had at first
= 2 u
= 2 x 31
= 62
Answer(s): 62
