Riordan |
Fabian |
| Before |
1 u + 69 |
5 u + 5 |
| Change |
- 69 |
- 5 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Riordan and Fabian had an equal number of caramel apples at first.
5 u + 5 = 1 u + 69
5 u - 1 u = 69 - 5
4 u = 64
1 u = 64 ÷ 4 = 16
Number of caramel apples that each of them had at first
= 1 u + 69
= 16 + 69
= 85
Answer(s): 85
