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

x = Number of green apples

4x = Number of red apples.

x + 4x = 50

5x = 50

x = 10 Green apples

4x = 4 * 10 = 40 Red apples

40 - 10 = 30 more red than green apples
