QuestionNancy spent \$ 28 on a soda for \$ 4 and 8 candy bars. What is the cost of each candy bar?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The cost of the soda is $4. The number of candy bars bought is83. The total amount spent is$ 284. The cost of each candy bar is the same

STEP 2

First, we need to find the total cost of the candy bars. We can do this by subtracting the cost of the soda from the total amount spent.
$Cost\, of\, candy\, bars = Total\, amount\, spent - Cost\, of\, soda$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total amount spent and the cost of the soda to calculate the cost of the candy bars.
$Cost\, of\, candy\, bars = \$28 - \$$

STEP 4

Calculate the total cost of the candy bars.
$Cost\, of\, candy\, bars = \$28 - \$4 = \$24$

STEP 5

Now that we have the total cost of the candy bars, we can divide this by the number of candy bars (8) to find the cost of each candy bar.
$Cost\, per\, candy\, bar = Cost\, of\, candy\, bars / Number\, of\, candy\, bars$

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the cost of the candy bars and the number of candy bars to calculate the cost per candy bar.
$Cost\, per\, candy\, bar = \$24 /8$

STEP 7

Calculate the cost per candy bar.
$Cost\, per\, candy\, bar = \$24 / = \$3$ Each candy bar cost $3.
