Liam and Jeremy had 92 tarts altogether. After Liam ate ¹₃ of his tarts and Jeremy ate 4 tarts, the number of tarts Jeremy had left was four times the number of tarts Liam had left. How many more tarts did Jeremy have than Liam at first?

	Liam	Jeremy	Total
Before	3 u	8 u + 4	92
Change	- 1 u	- 4
After	2 u
Comparing Liam and Jeremy in the end	1x2 = 2 u	4x2 = 8 u

The number of tarts that Liam had in the end is the same. Make the number of tarts that Liam had in the end the same.  LCM of 2 and 1 is 2.

Total number of tarts at first
= 3 u + 8 u + 4
= 11 u + 4

11 u + 4 = 92
11 u = 92 - 4
11 u = 88 

1 u = 88 ÷ 11 = 8

Number of tarts that Liam had at first
= 3 u
= 3 x 8
= 24

Number of tarts that Jeremy had at first
= 92 - 24
= 68

Number of tarts that Jeremy had more than Liam at first
= 68 - 24
= 44

Answer(s): 44
