Enrique and Yolanda collected 500 pieces of candy on Halloween. They gave half of their candy to charity. Yolanda took 180 pieces of the candy and Enrique took the rest. Enrique told his mother he got 64% of the candy. What did Enrique do wrong in calculating his percentage?

500 − 250  = 250 pieces left after donation

 

Yolanda got  180 pieces....then Enrique  got 70 pieces

 

So he got   70 /250  = 7/25  =  28%  of the remaining candy
