Question

Keith bought a soft drink for 3 dollars and 5 candy bars. He spent a total of 13 dollars. How much did each candy bar cost?

Answer 1

2 dollars per candy bar. the reason y is because 13-3=10 then divide 10 by 5 gets you two

Answer 2

Let x= cost of each candy bar

13= 3 + 5x

Subtract 3 from each side

10=5x Divide by 5 on both sides

x=2

Each candy bar costs $2
