plans to sell all 20 candy bars in 1 day, He
needs to make a profit of $9 per day to
meet his fundraising goal.
How much must he charge for each candy
bar?

Answer 1

$0.45

Explanation:

6 ÷ 20 = 0.3

Which means each candy bar costs $0.3.

9 ÷ 6 = 1.5

0.3 × 1.5 = 0.45

20 × 0.45 = 9

So he must charge $0.45 for each candy bar.
