Natalie had 24 more chocolate bars than Flynn at first. After Flynn had eaten 24 of his chocolate bars, Natalie had 5 times as many chocolate bars as Flynn. How many chocolate bars did Natalie and Flynn have in total at first?

Flynn |
Total |
| Before |
1 u + 24 + 24 |
1 u + 24 |
6 u + 24 |
| Change |
|
- 24 |
|
| After |
5 u |
1 u |

The number of chocolate bars that Natalie had at first remains unchanged.
5 u = 1 u + 24 + 24
5 u - 1 u = 48
4 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 4 = 12
Number of chocolate bars that they had at first
= 6 u + 24
= 6 x 12 + 24
= 72 + 24
= 96
Answer(s): 96
