Harper collected 30% more pieces of Halloween candy than her sister Maggie, who only collected 50 pieces. Neil collected 40% more candy than Harper. How much candy did Neil get on Halloween? Give me reasons, before answering the question
Harper collected 30% more than Maggie’s 50 pieces of candy, so she collected .30 * 50 = 15 more pieces of candy. Maggie has 50 pieces and Harper collected 15 more than her, so she has 50 + 15 = 65 pieces of candy. Neil collected 40% more than Harper, who has 65 pieces, so that’s .40 * 65 = 26 more pieces of candy. Harper has 65 pieces and Neil collected 26 more than her, so he has 65 + 26 = 91 pieces of candy. So the final answer is 91.
