Question

David has 36 apple and pear trees in his gardens. If he plant 4 more apple trees, he will have the same amount of apple and pear trees. How many of each tree does David have before planting more apple trees?

Answer 1

16 apples, 20 pears

Explanation:

36+4=40

So 40/2= 20 or an even amount of both apples and pears

20-4= 16 ~Original amount of apples

36-16=20 ~Amount of pears
