In a box, there are candy canes of 3 colours, green, pink and grey. There are 180 more pink candy canes than grey candy canes. The number of grey candy canes is ¹₂ more than the green candy canes. Given that the number of grey candy canes is 15% of the total number of candy canes in the box, how many more pink candy canes are there than green candy canes?

Green candy canes	Pink candy canes	Grey candy canes
	1 u + 180	1 u
2x5		3x5
85%		15%
10%	75%	15%

1 + ¹₂ = ²₂ + ¹₂ = ³₂

Yellow candy canes : Purple candy canes = 2 : 3

The number of grey candy canes is repeated.  Make the number of grey candy canes the same.

3 x 5 = 15%

Total number of green candy canes and pink candy canes in percent
= 100% - 15%
= 85%

Number of pink candy canes in percent
= 85% - 10%
= 75%

Number of more pink candy canes than grey candy canes in percent
= 75% - 10%
= 60%

60% = 180

1% = 180 ÷ 60 = 3

Number of more pink candy canes than green candy canes
= 75% - 10%
= 65%
= 65 x 3
= 195

Answer(s): 195
