The answer would be C. (He counted Yolanda's candy as his own).

This is found by multiplying 500 (starting number of candy) and .64 (percentage divided by a hundred). Thjs would guve you 320, which you would then subtract from the starting number of candy (500) to get 180. 180 is Yolanda's number of candy, which gives you the answer.
