Answer:

Explanation:

You know he has $40, and you know the game is $24.

Subtract $24 from 40, and you end up with $16.

Find out how many times 1.25 goes into 16, (12) and you know that he can buy 12 candy bars.

Answer: 15

Explanation:

40- 24 = 16

16 dollars worth of candy

1.25 dollars per candy x 12 candy bars = $15 dollars of candy worth

15 is the closest answer because if u multiply 13 with 1.25 it will be 16.25 which is over the price
