For every 9 candy canes that Gabby has, Lucy has 5 more candy canes than her. They have 46 candy canes altogether. How many candy canes does Lucy have?
Number of candy canes that Lucy has in 1 set
= 9 + 5
= 14
Total number of candy canes in 1 set
= 14 + 9
= 23
Number of sets
= 46 ÷ 23
= 2
Number of candy canes that Lucy has
= 2 x 14
= 28
Answer(s): 28
