Question

Suzanne bought 50 apples at the 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

Explanation:

Let x be the number of Green apples bought.

Then 4x is the number of Red apples bought.

We have x + 4x = 50, so x = 10.

Since there are 10 green and 40 red apples, 40 - 10 = 30 more red apples than green apples.
