Percentage of candy canes after Flynn received from Glen
= 100% + 25%
= 125%
Percentage of Flynn's candy canes that Wendy had after receiving from Flynn
= 40% x 125%
=
40100 x 125%
= 50%
Percentage of candy canes that Flynn had left after giving to Wendy
= 125% - 50%
= 75%
100% = 80
Number of candy canes that Flynn had left
= 75% x 80
=
75100 x 80
= 60
Answer(s): 60
