Based on the total number of candy canes damaged and the proportion of the total it was, the total inspected was 120 candy canes.
Assuming the total number of candy canes inspected is x, the relevant formula would be:
18 = x × 15%
Solving for x would give us:
18 = 0.15x
x = 18 / 0.15
= 120 candy canes
In conclusion, 120 canes were sampled.
