Question

The junior class is selling fruit bars to raise money. They purchased 1250 fruit bars and paid a delivery fee of $25. The total cost, including the delivery fee, was $800. What was the cost of each bar?

Answer 1

Number of fruit bars purchased = 1250.

Delivery fee = $25

Total cost including the delivery fee = $800.

Therefore, the cost without delivery fee = 800-25 = $775.

Therefore, the cost of fruit bars purchased = $ 775.

So, the cost of 1 fruit bar, is,

`(775)/(1250)=0.62`

Therefore, the cost of 1 fruit bar is $ 0.62.
