Question 3.find the cost of buying 20 candy bars at the special price.

Answer 1

1. $15.80

2. $12

3. $11.06

Explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Buying 20 single candy bars at regular price

The regular price of one is 79 cents.

(# of bars) X (price per bar) = regular price

20 X 79 cents = 1580 cents

1580 cents = $15.80

2. Buying 20 bars in packs of 5

Each pack is $3

(# of packs) X (price per pack) = pack price

(20/5) X ($3) = pack price

4 X $3 = $12

3. Buying 20 bars at special price

For every 2 bought, 1 is free.

(Number of bars paid for) X (price per bar) = special price

(2(20/3)) X (0.79) = special price

14 X 0.79 = $11.06

Because for every 2 bars that are paid for, 1 is free, he pays for 14 bars and he gets the 21st free.

Andy's 20 regular priced candy bars are $15.80, bars in packs are $12, and bars at the special price is $11.06.
