Vaidev and Owen had an equal number of lollipops at first. Vaidev and Owen ate 41 and 2 lollipops respectively. In the end, Owen has four times as many lollipops as Vaidev. How many lollipops did each of them has at first?
| |
Vaidev |
Owen |
| Before |
1 u + 41 |
4 u + 2 |
| Change |
- 41 |
- 2 |
| After |
1 u |
4 u |
Vaidev and Owen had an equal number of lollipops at first.
4 u + 2 = 1 u + 41
4 u - 1 u = 41 - 2
3 u = 39
1 u = 39 ÷ 3 = 13
Number of lollipops that each of them had at first
= 1 u + 41
= 13 + 41
= 54
Answer(s): 54
