In a box, there are candy canes of 3 colours, pink, green and white. There are 112 less white candy canes than green candy canes. The number of white candy canes is ¹₄ more than the pink candy canes. Given that the number of white candy canes is 30% of the total number of candy canes in the box, how many less pink candy canes are there than green candy canes?

Pink candy canes	Green candy canes	White candy canes
	1 u + 112	1 u
4x6		5x6
70%		30%
24%	46%	30%

1 + ¹₄ = ⁴₄ + ¹₄ = ⁵₄

Yellow candy canes : Purple candy canes = 4 : 5

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

5 x 6 = 30%

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

Number of green candy canes in percent
= 70% - 24%
= 46%

Number of more green candy canes than white candy canes in percent
= 46% - 24%
= 16%

16% = 112

1% = 112 ÷ 16 = 7

Number of less pink candy canes than green candy canes
= 46% - 24%
= 22%
= 22 x 7
= 154

Answer(s): 154
