ALGEBRA II-UNIT #1 BRAIN TEASERS-DAY #20-(9/23/14)
Brain Teaser-"Apple Picking"
Three people picked 65 apples altogether. At the first tree they each picked the same number of apples. At the second tree they each picked 3 times as many as they picked at the first tree. When they finished at the third tree, the group had 5 times as many apples as they had when they started at that tree. At the fourth tree the group picked just 5 apples.
How many apples did each person pick at the first tree?
HINT: Work Backwards from the very end to help you solve this problem!!! Can you create and Algebraic Equation to help you solve this????
