Answer 1

To find the price for one candy bar, we can use the total cost and the number of candy bars for any of the entries. The price per candy bar can be calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Price per candy bar} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Candy Bars}} \]

Let's calculate it for each entry:

1. For 6 candy bars at $4.86: \[ \text{Price per candy bar} = \frac{4.86}{6} = 0.81 \]

2. For 8 candy bars at $6.48: \[ \text{Price per candy bar} = \frac{6.48}{8} = 0.81 \]

3. For 11 candy bars at $8.91: \[ \text{Price per candy bar} = \frac{8.91}{11} = 0.81 \]

4. For 17 candy bars at $13.77: \[ \text{Price per candy bar} = \frac{13.77}{17} = 0.81 \]

Based on the calculations from all entries, the price for one candy bar is $0.81.
