Answer:
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
