14) Eugene spent $20 on a magazine and
some candy bars. If the magazine cost S5
and each candy bar cost S3, then how
many candy bars did he buy?
A) 2
B) 1 C) 5 D) 3
First, we need to work out how much he spent on candy bars only. To do this, take away the amount spent on the magazine ($5) from the total spent ($20) to get $15.
To find the cost of one candy bar, divide the $15 by the cost of one bar ($3). This means he bought 5 candy bars.
