For every 7 candy canes that Winnie has, Lucy has 2 more candy canes than her. They have 64 candy canes altogether. How many candy canes does Lucy have?
Number of candy canes that Lucy has in 1 set
= 7 + 2
= 9
Total number of candy canes in 1 set
= 9 + 7
= 16
Number of sets
= 64 ÷ 16
= 4
Number of candy canes that Lucy has
= 4 x 9
= 36
Answer(s): 36
