Percentage of caramel apples after Jenson received from Carl
= 100% + 40%
= 140%
Percentage of Jenson's caramel apples that Anna had after receiving from Jenson
= 50% x 140%
=
50100 x 140%
= 70%
Percentage of caramel apples that Jenson had left after giving to Anna
= 140% - 70%
= 70%
100% = 60
Number of caramel apples that Jenson had left
= 70% x 60
=
70100 x 60
= 42
