There are 256 red apples and green apples in a box
1/4 of the apples are red
More red apples are added to the box
Now 1/3 of the apples are red
How many red apples were added to the box
=============================
3/4 are green = 192
After adding red apples, 192 greens are 2/3 ---> 288 total
288 - 256 = 32 added.
