Question

Y are selling lollipops for $0.50 and candy bars for $1.50.

Lydia buys 6 lollipops and some candy bars.

If she spends $15 in total, how many candy bars, b, did Lydia buy?

Answer 1

b=8

Explanation:

You multiply $0.50 by 6 (to get the amount of money she spent on lollipops)=3 then you take the 3 and subtract it from $15 which gives you 12, finally you get 1.50-12 and do that 8 times which means she bought 8 candy bars
