Question

Donny has three times as many candy canes as Marc. Marc has thirty more candy canes than Bob. They have 500 candy canes altogether. How many candy canes does Donny have?

Answer 1

318

Explanation:

Bob=x

Marc=x+30

Donny=3(x+30)

x+x+30+3x+90=500

5x=500-120

5x=380

x=76

Bob has x = 76

Marc has x+30=106

Donny has 3*112=318

318+106+76=500
