Warren had 70% fewer candy canes than Perry. After Perry gave 288 candy canes to Warren, Warren had ³₄ as many candy canes as Perry. How many candy canes did each of them have in the end?

1. Perry
2. Warren

	Warren	Perry	Total
Before	3x7 = 21 u	10x7 = 70 u	13x7 = 91 u
Change	+ 288	- 288
After	3x13 = 39 u	4x13 =  52 u	7x13 = 91 u

Number of candy canes that Warren had at first in percentage
= 100% - 70%
= 30%

30% = ³⁰₁₀₀ = ³₁₀

The total number of candy canes at first and in the end remains unchanged. Make the total number of candy canes the same. LCM of 7 and 13 is 91.

Number of candy canes that Perry gave to Warren
= 70 u - 52 u
= 18 u

18 u = 288

1 u = 288 ÷ 18 = 16

Number of candy canes that Warren had in the end
= 39 u
= 39 x 16
= 624

Number of candy canes that Perry had in the end
= 52 u
= 52 x 16
= 832

Answer(s): (a) 624; (b) 832
