nancy bought a soft drink for 4 dollars and 8 candy bars. She spent a total of 28 dollars. How much did each candy bar cost?

Answer 1

28-4=24/8=3

You first need to subtract $4 from $28 because you know the cost of the soft drink from the total.

28-4=24. Now, you know she bought 8 candy bars so to find the value of a single candy bar you have to divide 24 by 8. 24/8=3. One candy bar cost $3. Hope that helps!
