Explanation:

If we count for both numbers up to 36, we start seeing a pattern...

Candy: 6 12 18 24 30 36

Danny: 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36

Every other number in Candy's counting is also counted by Danny. So here's what we'll do:

  • Divide 600 by 6

600/6 = 100

This is how many numbers Candy counted overall.

  • Divide the result by 2.

100/2 = 50

This is how many numbers Danny counted that were also numbers Candy counted.

Answer:

50 of the numbers that candy counted were also counted by Danny.
