Firstly we need to know the price of 1 mint chocolate, if four are equal to $2.00 then one is equal to:


2.00 / 4

That equation would allow us to know the price of a single mint chocolate being $ .05.

therefore you now know the price of one mint chocolate now to know how much you can get for five dollars you see how many times 0.5 can go in 5

Approximately 10 times

therefore we can get 10 mint chocolates from $5
