Answer:

Cost of a candy bar in a week = $6.45

Cost of the candy bar in a month = $25.8

Cost of the candy bar in a year = $309.6

Explanations:

Price of a candy bar = $1.29

Number of days from Monday to Friday = 5

Cost of the candy bar in a week = (1.29 x 5)

Cost of a candy bar in a week = $6.45

Cost of the candy bar in a month

There are 4 weeks in a month

Since he buys a candy bar 5 days in a week

Number of candy bars bought in one month = (5 x 4) = 20

Cost of the candy bar in a month = 20 x 1.29

Cost of the candy bar in a month = $25.8

Cost of the candy bar in a year

There are 12 months in a year

Cost of the candy bar in a year = (cost of the candy bar in a month) x 12

Cost of the candy bar in a year = 25.8 x 12

Cost of the candy bar in a year = $309.6
