Question

1. Jessica bought a soda for 4 dollars and 6 candy bars. She spent a total of 22 dollars. How much did each candy bar cost?

Answer 1

Since we know the cost of the soda ($4), we can subtract it from the total cost ($22; $22-$4=$18). The remaining amount ($18) therefor equals the total cost of the 6 candy bars. To get the price per candy bar, we can divide the remaining amount by 6, which equals 3. Therefore, each candy bar costs $3.
