In a box, there are candy canes of 3 colours, pink, brown and blue. There are 60 more brown candy canes than blue candy canes. The number of blue candy canes is ¹₅ more than the pink candy canes. Given that the number of blue candy canes is 30% of the total number of candy canes in the box, how many more brown candy canes are there than pink candy canes?

Pink candy canes	Brown candy canes	Blue candy canes
	1 u + 60	1 u
5x5		6x5
70%		30%
25%	45%	30%

1 + ¹₅ = ⁵₅ + ¹₅ = ⁶₅

Yellow candy canes : Purple candy canes = 5 : 6

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

6 x 5 = 30%

Total number of pink candy canes and brown candy canes in percent
= 100% - 30%
= 70%

Number of brown candy canes in percent
= 70% - 25%
= 45%

Number of more brown candy canes than blue candy canes in percent
= 45% - 25%
= 15%

15% = 60

1% = 60 ÷ 15 = 4

Number of more brown candy canes than pink candy canes
= 45% - 25%
= 20%
= 20 x 4
= 80

Answer(s): 80
