In a box, there are candy canes of 3 colours, silver, pink and brown. There are 210 more pink candy canes than brown candy canes. The number of brown candy canes is ²₃ more than the silver candy canes. Given that the number of brown candy canes is 25% of the total number of candy canes in the box, how many more pink candy canes are there than silver candy canes?

Silver candy canes	Pink candy canes	Brown candy canes
	1 u + 210	1 u
3x5		5x5
75%		25%
15%	60%	25%

1 + ²₃ = ³₃ + ²₃ = ⁵₃

Yellow candy canes : Purple candy canes = 3 : 5

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

5 x 5 = 25%

Total number of silver candy canes and pink candy canes in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%

Number of pink candy canes in percent
= 75% - 15%
= 60%

Number of more pink candy canes than brown candy canes in percent
= 60% - 15%
= 35%

35% = 210

1% = 210 ÷ 35 = 6

Number of more pink candy canes than silver candy canes
= 60% - 15%
= 45%
= 45 x 6
= 270

Answer(s): 270
