Let c represent the cost of each candy bar
Answered by GPT 3.5
First subtract the cost of the bag of chips from the total amount spent: $19 - $4 = $<<19-4=15>>15
Then divide that number by the number of candy bars purchased to find the cost per candy bar: $15 / 5 candy bars = $<<15/5=3>>3 per candy bar. Answer: \boxed{3}.
