Question

Suzanne bought 50 apples at the apple orchard. She bought 4 times as many red apples as green apples. How many more red apples than green apples did Suzanne buy?

Answer 1

30

Explanation:

Let n represent the number of green apples.

5 x n = 50

5 x 10 = 50. So, Suzanne bought 10 green apples.

4 x 10 = 40 red apples

Then, we subtract the number of green apples from the number of red apples:

40 - 10 = 30 red apples more than green apples

Answer 2

the problem is basically asking you _ x 4 = 50, so, what is 1/4 of 50? (12.5)
