Evan had 88 crayons and Steve had 54 crayons. When each one gave away the same number of crayons, Evan then had 1/3 as many crayons as Steve. How many crayons did each friend give away?
This is garbled, just like the previous one, and just as bad.
No way can Evan's count be 1/3 of Steve's
88 > 54
88-x > 54-x
