For every 7 candy canes that Kylie has, Joelle has 2 more candy canes than her. They have 64 candy canes altogether. How many candy canes does Joelle have?
Number of candy canes that Joelle 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 Joelle has
= 4 x 9
= 36
