Answer 1

Answer: 130 candy bars

Explanation:

In total, the amount of money they will need to raise is:

= 450 + 325

= $775

They have 6 weeks to raise this money so the amount they have to raise per week is at least:

= 775/6

= $130

The candy bars cost $1 each. They will therefore have to sell a minimum of 130 candy bars each week to afford the trip.
