Question

I bought a bunch of gumdrops, jellybeans, and mints. Each were in yellow, blue, and white. I bought ten of each kind (90 altogether), and put them all in my candy bowl. I like having candy to snack on in my house. To be kind, I invited Rosengreedy to my house to look at my candy bowl. He talked sports and anime stuff, while I spoke of politics and high finance. Of course, I was not really paying any attention to him, yet he was taking notes while I was talking. I can't blame him though. I have been known to receive standing ovations. Anyways, I had to leave for an emergency because some kid was stuck in a well. It took me a half an hour to rescue him and another half hour to receive all the thanks and praise. That was my mistake.... While I was gone Rosengreedy started to feast on my candy. In fact, the number of yellow gumdrops, blue gumdrops, yellow jellybeans and blue jellybeans was down to nine. The bowl had half as many yellow candies as gumdrops, half as many mints as white candies, and half as many blue candies as jellybeans. How many white mints did he eat? He was not invited back to my candy home.
