Question

Emily spent $26 on a magazine and some candy bars. If the magazine cost $6 and each candy bar cost $5 then how many candy bars did she buy?

Answer 1

`\text{Hello there!}\\\\\text{Turn the question into an equation, c = candy bar}\\\\26=5c+6\\\\\text{Solve the equation:}\\\\26=5c+6\\\\\text{Subtract 6 from both sides}\\\\20=5c\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 5}\\\\4=c\\\\\boxed{\text{She bought 4 candy bars}}`

Answer 2

Answer: She bought 4 candy bars.

Explanation:

26 = 6 + 5c

c = candy bar

26 - 6 = 20

20 = 5c

/5

4 = c
