STEP 1

Assumptions1. The rate of candy bar purchase is130 per second. . There are approximately $3. \times10^{7}$ seconds in a year.
3. We are asked to find the total number of candy bars purchased in a year.

STEP 2

To find the total number of candy bars purchased in a year, we need to multiply the rate of candy bar purchase per second by the total number of seconds in a year.
$Total\, candy\, bars = Rate\, of\, purchase\, per\, second \\times Total\, seconds\, in\, a\, year$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the rate of candy bar purchase per second and the total number of seconds in a year to calculate the total number of candy bars.
$Total\, candy\, bars =130 \\times3.2 \times10^{7}$

STEP 4

Perform the multiplication to find the total number of candy bars purchased in a year.
$Total\, candy\, bars =130 \\times3.2 \times10^{7} =4.16 \times10^{9}$ Approximately $4.16 \times10^{9}$ candy bars are purchased in one year.
