To find out how much the oldest son spent on candy, we need to subtract the cost of tickets, popcorn, and drinks from the total amount spent.
Total spent - Tickets - Popcorn - Drinks = Candy cost
$76 - $35 - $25 - $10 = Candy cost
$76 - $35 - $25 - $10 = Candy cost
$16 = Candy cost
Therefore, the oldest son spent $16 on candy.
