Question

Eugene spent 14$ on a magazine and some candy bars. If the magazine cost 6$ and each candy bar cost 2$ then how many candy bars did he buy?

Answer 1

o find out how many candy bars Eugene bought, you can set up an equation. Let C represent the number of candy bars.

The total amount spent is $14, and it's composed of the cost of the magazine ($6) and the cost of the candy bars ($2 per candy bar times C):

Total cost = Magazine cost + (Cost per candy bar × Number of candy bars)

$14 = $6 + ($2 × C)

Now, isolate the term with C:

$14 - $6 = $2C

$8 = $2C

Next, solve for C by dividing both sides by 2:

$8 / $2 = $2C / $2

4 = C

So, Eugene bought 4 candy bars.

Answer 2

He bought 4 candy bars
