50 candies
64% of 50 = 32 = gummy worms
Eaten : x number of gummy worms only making it 60% of remaining candies
( 50 -x ) * 0.6 = 32 - x
x = 5.
Therefore, candies left = 50 -x =45.
64% of 50 = 32 = gummy worms
Eaten : x number of gummy worms only making it 60% of remaining candies
( 50 -x ) * 0.6 = 32 - x
x = 5.
Therefore, candies left = 50 -x =45.
