Question

Enrique and Yolanda collected 500 pieces of candy on Halloween. they gave half of their candy to charity. Yolanda took 180 pieces of the candy and Enrique took the rest . Enrique told his mother he got 64% of the candy what did Enrique do wrong in calculating his parentage.

Answer 1

500 − 250 = 250 pieces left after donation

Yolanda got 180 pieces....then Enrique got 70 pieces

So he got 70 /250 = 7/25 = 28% of the remaining candy
