How much did each candy bar cost

Question

Alyssa brought a small drink for $4 and 9 candy bars she spent the total of $31 how much did each candy bar cost

Answer 1

Hi Mikayla,

 

Let c= the price of a candy bar

 

the cost of c candies and 1 drink is 31, and we know that the drink costs $4. So,

 

9c + 4 = 31

9c = 27

c = 3

 

Therefore, the cost of each candy bar is $3.

 

I hope it helps,
