Part B

How much did each candy bar cost?

Answer: 3 + 8x = 43

Each candy bar costs $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation using the information given:

We have to add the price of the soft drink (3) and; the product of the price of each candy bar (x) and the number of candy bars purchased (8).

That expression must be equal to the total amount of money spent. (43)

3 + 8x = 43

Solving for x:

8x = 43 - 3

8x = 40

x = 40/8

x = 5

Each candy bar costs $5

5

Step-by-step explanation:

she bought a soft drink for $3 so subtract that from the overall cost which is $43.

$43.00 - $3.00 = $40.00

Then I just divided that by 8 because thats how many candy bars she bought

40 : 8 = 5

So each candy bar was $5.00

Hope its right

Im extremly sorry if its wrong
