Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of mangoes owned by Tulsa be T and that by Julie be J

If Tulsa has 4 times as many mangoes as Julie then

T = 4J

Tulsa bought 6 more mangoes. She now has 5 time as many mangoes as Julie

T + 6 = 5J

Solve both equations simultaneously by substitution

4J + 6 = 5J

Collect like terms

6 = 5J- 4J

J = 6

Since

T = 4J

T = 4 * 6

= 24

Hence Tulsa had 24 mangoes at first
