In a container, there are candy canes of 3 colours, green, blue and yellow. There are 340 more blue candy canes than yellow candy canes. The number of yellow candy canes is ¹₃ more than the green candy canes. Given that the number of yellow candy canes is 24% of the total number of candy canes in the container, how many more blue candy canes are there than green candy canes?

Green candy canes	Blue candy canes	Yellow candy canes
	1 u + 340	1 u
3x6		4x6
76%		24%
18%	58%	24%

1 + ¹₃ = ³₃ + ¹₃ = ⁴₃

Yellow candy canes : Purple candy canes = 3 : 4

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

4 x 6 = 24%

Total number of green candy canes and blue candy canes in percent
= 100% - 24%
= 76%

Number of blue candy canes in percent
= 76% - 18%
= 58%

Number of more blue candy canes than yellow candy canes in percent
= 58% - 18%
= 34%

34% = 340

1% = 340 ÷ 34 = 10

Number of more blue candy canes than green candy canes
= 58% - 18%
= 40%
= 40 x 10
= 400

Answer(s): 400
