greens --- x
reds ----- 4x
x + 4x = 90

To find out how many more red apples than green apples Fatima bought, we first need to determine the number of green and red apples she bought.
Let's assume the number of green apples Fatima bought is represented by 'x'.
According to the given information, Fatima bought 4 times as many red apples as green apples. So, the number of red apples she bought is 4 * x.
Given that she bought a total of 50 apples, we can set up an equation to represent this:
x + 4x = 50
Combining like terms:
5x = 50
To find the value of 'x', we divide both sides of the equation by 5:
x = 50 / 5
x = 10
So, Fatima bought 10 green apples and 4 * 10 = 40 red apples.
To find out how many more red apples than green apples Fatima bought, we subtract the number of green apples from the number of red apples:
40 - 10 = 30
Therefore, Fatima bought 30 more red apples than green apples.
