The solution c=40 is the selling cost of each candy bar, in dollars.
The solution c=40 is the selling cost of a box of candy bars, in dollars.
The solution c=40 is the number of candy bars Teah sold.
The solution c=40 is the amount in dollars that Teah spent on a box.
The solution c=40 is the profit in dollars Teah made from each candy bar.

Answer 1

Answer: The solution would be C

Explanation:

If we multiply 40 candy bars by $2.50 we would get the answer of $100 because that is how much she made from selling candy bars. . Then we would have to subtract that answer by $25 because that is how much the box cost. $100 minus $25 is equal to $75. So the answer would be option C
