Answer:

Cost of one candy = 80 L.L.

Explanation:

Let "x" represent cost of a candy

Cost of 12 candies = 12x

Cost of a chocolate bar = 1,250 L.L.

Total cost = 2,210 L.L.

The following equation represents the scenario given:

1,250 + 12x = 2,210

Solve for x (cost of a candy)

1,250 + 12x - 1,250 = 2,210 - 1,250 (subtraction property of equality)

12x = 960

Divide both sides by 12

12x/12 = 960/12 (division property of equality)

x = 80

Cost of one candy = x = 80 L.L.
