Answer:

Number of Other flavor candy is 84.

Explanation:

Given that

A total of 560 pieces of candy are there in the box.


(4)/(5) of the pieces are fruity.

Number of Fruity pieces:


(4)/(5) * 560\\\Rightarrow 4 * 112 =448

Now, remaining pieces = Total pieces - Fruity pieces

remaining pieces = 560 - 448 = 112

Also given that
\frac{1}4 of the remaining pieces are mind.

Number of mint pieces:


(1)/(4)* 112 = 28

Other flavors remaining = Total pieces - Fruity pieces - Mint pieces

Other flavors remaining = 560 - 448 - 28

Other flavors remaining = 112 - 28 = 84

Number of Other flavor candy is 84.
