Class H, J and K were given some candy canes to sell for their charity drive. The average number of candy canes the 3 classes had at first was 221. After Class J sold twice as many candy canes as Class H and Class K sold ³₄ as many candy canes as Class J, the average number of candy canes the 3 classes had left was 41. How many candy canes did Class H and Class K sell altogether?

Class H	Class J	Class K
1x2	2x2
	4x1	3x1
2 u	4 u	3 u

Class H : Class J : Class K
2 : 4 : 3

Total number of candy canes that the 3 classes had at first
= 3 x 221
= 663

Number of candy canes that the 3 classes left
= 3 x 41 
= 123

Number of candy canes that were sold by 3 classes
= 663 - 123
= 540

2 u + 4 u + 3 u = 540
9 u = 540

1 u = 540 ÷ 9 = 60

Total number of candy canes sold by Class H and Class K
= 2 u + 3 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 60
= 300

Answer(s): 300
