Question

Nancy bought a soft drink for 2 dollars and 9 candy bars. She spent a total of 38 dollars. How much did each
candy bar cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

$4

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we know that Nancy bought a drink for 2 dollars, and we are just trying to find the cost of the candy bars, we can subtract 2 dollars from the drink from the total cost:

38 - 2 = 36

Now, the 9 candy bars cost 36 dollars, so to find the individual price of each candy bar, we divide 36 by 9:

36 / 9 = 4

So, each candy bar costs 4 dollars

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

4 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

38 - 2

= 36

36÷9 ( candy bars)

= 4 dollars
