Packet K had 30% more apple candies than Packet J and twice as many candies than the total number of candies in Packet J.

80% =
80100 =
45 100 %+ 30% = 130%
Total number of candies in Packet J
= 4 u + 1 u
= 5 u
Total number of candies in Packet K
= 2 x 5 u
= 10 u
Number of apple candies in Packet K
= 130% x 4 u
=
130100 x 4 u
= 5.2 u
Number of apple candies in Packet K
= 10 u - 5.2 u
= 4.8 u
Number of cheese candies to be transferred from Packet K to Packet J
= 4 u - 1 u
= 3 u
Percentage of candies to be transferred from Packet K
=
34.8 x 100%
= 62.5%
Answer(s): 62.5%
