Abelardo had 3 bags of apples. He gave 2 to his best friend, he gave 3 to his brother, and he fed 1 to his horse. On the way home, he was chased by some dogs and dropped 1 bag. He had 22 apples left when he got home How many apples were in each bag originally? Write an equation and solve it.

number of apples he originally had in each bag was 14 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that he had 3 bags of apples.

Now, let amount of apples in one bag be x.

Thus, total amount of apples is 3x.

We are told he gave 2 apples to his best friend, he gave 3 to his brother, and he fed 1 to his horse.

This means total given out = 2 + 3 + 1 = 6 apples.

Then, on the way home, he was chased by some dogs and dropped 1 bag.

Thus, amount of apples dropped is 1x = x

Thus;

Amount left on getting home after the entire giving and dropping is;

3x - 6 - x = 2x - 6

Now,we are told that he had 22 apples left when he got home.

Thus;

2x - 6 = 22

2x = 22 + 6

2x = 28

x = 28/2

x = 14 apples

Thus, number of apples he originally had in each bag was 14 apples
