Question

Mike bought a soft drink for 3 dollars and 8 candy bars. He spent a total of 27 dollars. How much did each candy bar cost?

Answer 1

$3.00

Explanation:

Subtract the $3 for the soft drink from the $27 which will be $24. 24 divided the 8 candy bars is $3 per bar.

Answer 2

The equation is 3+8x=27 and when you solve it you will do 27-3=24 and divide 24 by 8 which you get 3 so 3 candy bars
