Question

Leo sold candy bars for a fundraiser. He spent $25 on a box of candy bars and sold them for $2 each. His profit (after earning back the $25) was $69, so he used the equation $2c−$25=$69 to find out how many candy bars he sold.When he solves the equation, he gets c=47.What does this mean in the context of the situation?

Answer 1

As given by the question

There are given that the $2c-$25=$69.

Now,

`\begin{gathered} $2c-$25=$69$ \\ $2c-$25+25=$69$+25 \\ 2c=$69$+25 \\ 2c=94 \\ c=(94)/(2) \\ c=47\text{ bars} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the correct answer is C.
