The answer to the problem is: 30
It is 30.
40-10
greens ---- x
reds ------ 4x
x + 4x = 50
take over.
=>x+4x=50
=>5x=50
=>x=50/5
=>x=10 ans
I got 30 for an answer
I got 40 for this answer.
To find out how many more red apples Suzanne bought than green apples, we first need to determine the quantity of each type of apple she purchased.
Let's assume the number of green apples Suzanne bought is represented by 'x'. According to the problem, Suzanne bought 4 times as many red apples as green apples. So, the number of red apples she bought can be represented as '4x'.
As stated in the problem, Suzanne bought a total of 50 apples. From this information, we can create an equation:
x + 4x = 50
Combining like terms, we have:
5x = 50
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 5:
x = 50 / 5
x = 10
So, Suzanne bought 10 green apples.
To find the number of red apples, we substitute the value found for x into the expression '4x':
4 * 10 = 40
Therefore, Suzanne bought 40 red apples.
To determine how many more red apples she bought than green apples, we subtract the number of green apples from the number of red apples:
40 - 10 = 30
Hence, Suzanne bought 30 more red apples than green apples.
