Answer:

36 candy bars. (32 if sold in packs)

Explanation:

We know that eight candy bars cost 6 dollars, and we purchased $27 dollars worth of them.

Therefore, we can use 27/6 = 4.5 to see how many packs/sets of candy bars we purchased. Since there are 8 in a pack/set, we do 8x4.5 = 36 to see we can purchase 36 candy bars. However, if you can only buy them in packs of 8, then you can only purchased 4 packs/32 bars since 6x5 = 30 and we only have 27 dollars.
