P and Q had the same number of candies. P gave Q 22 candies so that now Q has five times as many candies as P has. How many candies does Q have now?
Choose the correct choice.
A) 35  B) 40  C) 45  D) 50  E) 55
Let P and Q be the number of candies they had at the start.   P = Q   5(P-22) = Q+22   5(Q-22) = Q+22   4Q = 132   Q = 33   Now person Q has 33+22 candies which is 55 candies.   The answer is 55.
