Anna had an equal number of peaches and pomegranates at first. She sold one-sixth of the pomegranates and bought another 28 peaches. In the end, she had four times as many peaches as pomegranates. Find the number of pomegranates she had at first.

Peaches |
Pomegranates |
| Before |
20 u - 28 |
6 u |
| Change |
+ 28 |
- 1 u |
| After |
20 u |
5 u |
The number of peaches and pomegranates at first is the same.
20 u - 28 = 6 u
20 u - 6 u = 28
14 u = 28
1 u = 28 ÷ 14 = 2
Number of pomegranates that Anna had at first
= 6 u
= 6 x 2
= 12
Answer(s): 12
