Answer:

100 Candy Bars

Explanation:

Hey!

==================================================================

Ayden wants to sell a total of $150 worth of candy bars for his school fundraiser. Each candy bar costs $1.50. How many candy bars will he have to sell in order to meet his goal?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We can create an algebraic Equation to solve this.

- We know that Each Candy Bar costs $1.50.

-We multiply the Amount of Candy Bars with the price.

-We know the profit should be $150

⇒ 1.50x = 150

-Divide by 1.50 on both sides

⇒ 1.50x/1.50 = 150/1.50

-Simplify

⇒ x = 100

==================================================================

Hope I Helped, Feel free to ask any questions to clarify :)

Have a great day!

More Love, More Peace, Less Hate.
