For every 5 candy canes that Kimberly has, Winnie has 8 more candy canes than her. They have 36 candy canes altogether. How many candy canes does Winnie have?
Number of candy canes that Winnie has in 1 set
= 5 + 8
= 13
Total number of candy canes in 1 set
= 13 + 5
= 18
Number of sets
= 36 ÷ 18
= 2
Number of candy canes that Winnie has
= 2 x 13
= 26
Answer(s): 26
