    1.5b = 418 - 4n (all in dollars)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let b represent the number of candy bars sold and n the number of box of nuts sold.

    Given that each;

    Candy bar costs $1.50

    box of nut $4.00

    Amount raised from candy bars = $1.50 * b

    Amount raised from box of nut = $4.00 * n

    Total amount raised = $418

    The equation for the total amount raised is;

    1.50 * b + 4.00 * n = 418

    1.5b + 4n = 418

    The portion that came from candy bars is;

    Making 1.5b the subject of formula;

    1.5b = 418 - 4n
