Jason bought a soft drink for 3 dollars and 7 candy bars he spent a total of 38 dollars how much did each candy bar cost

Question

Show me how you got it and please solve it

Answer 1

We know that Jason's total was $38, that $3 of that was spent on a soda, and he bought 7 candy bars, each at a price we will call x.

Using this information, we can set up the equation

7x + 3 = 38

which simply states that the cost of seven candy bars plus the $3 soda is equal to $38

Our next step is to subtract 3 on each side, giving us

7x = 35

Finally, we divide both sides by 7 to find x, which is the price of one candy bar

x = 5

One candy bar costs $5
