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?
the problem is basically asking you _ x 4 = 50, so, what is 1/4 of 50? (12.5)
Answer:
30
Step-by-step 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
