In a box, there are candy canes of 3 colours, gold, red and pink. There are 20 more red candy canes than pink candy canes. The number of pink candy canes is ¹₄ more than the gold candy canes. Given that the number of pink candy canes is 35% of the total number of candy canes in the box, how many more red candy canes are there than gold candy canes?

Gold candy canes	Red candy canes	Pink candy canes
	1 u + 20	1 u
4x7		5x7
65%		35%
28%	37%	35%

1 + ¹₄ = ⁴₄ + ¹₄ = ⁵₄

Yellow candy canes : Purple candy canes = 4 : 5

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

5 x 7 = 35%

Total number of gold candy canes and red candy canes in percent
= 100% - 35%
= 65%

Number of red candy canes in percent
= 65% - 28%
= 37%

Number of more red candy canes than pink candy canes in percent
= 37% - 28%
= 2%

2% = 20

1% = 20 ÷ 2 = 10

Number of more red candy canes than gold candy canes
= 37% - 28%
= 9%
= 9 x 10
= 90

Answer(s): 90
