For every 3 candy canes that Emma has, Nicole has 8 more candy canes than her. They have 70 candy canes altogether. How many candy canes does Nicole have?
Number of candy canes that Nicole has in 1 set
= 3 + 8
= 11
Total number of candy canes in 1 set
= 11 + 3
= 14
Number of sets
= 70 ÷ 14
= 5
Number of candy canes that Nicole has
= 5 x 11
= 55
Answer(s): 55
