Percentage of caramel apples after Cole received from Bryan
= 100% + 25%
= 125%
Percentage of Cole's caramel apples that Tiffany had after receiving from Cole
= 40% x 125%
=
40100 x 125%
= 50%
Percentage of caramel apples that Cole had left after giving to Tiffany
= 125% - 50%
= 75%
100% = 60
Number of caramel apples that Cole had left
= 75% x 60
=
75100 x 60
= 45
