Hmmmm closest I can get to this answer is 6 or 7. The numbers don't add up and it's probably why you haven't received an answer. If you do this math:
13small candles multiplied by 10.98 = 142.74
7large candles multiplied by 27.98 = 195.86
142.74+195.86 = 338.60 which is OVER the total received.
7+13=20 candles
14small candles multiplied by 10.98 = 153.72
6 large candles multiplied by 27.98 = 167.88
153.72+167.88 = 321.60 which is UNDER the total received
Can't go any lower or higher because it's even lower or higher.
6+14=20 candles
So I wouldn't really know what to say. This isn't adding up.
