Luke and Michael had an equal number of caramel apples at first. Luke and Michael ate 61 and 13 caramel apples respectively. In the end, Michael has four times as many caramel apples as Luke. How many caramel apples did each of them has at first?
| |
Luke |
Michael |
| Before |
1 u + 61 |
4 u + 13 |
| Change |
- 61 |
- 13 |
| After |
1 u |
4 u |
Luke and Michael had an equal number of caramel apples at first.
4 u + 13 = 1 u + 61
4 u - 1 u = 61 - 13
3 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 3 = 16
Number of caramel apples that each of them had at first
= 1 u + 61
= 16 + 61
= 77
Answer(s): 77
