Question

Kirsten paid $3.56 for 4 candy bars.

Which equation can be used to determine the price, p, in dollars, of 1 candy bar?
Responses

A
p = 4
3.56
p = 4 3.56

B
p = 3.56
4
p = 3.56 4

C 3.56p = 43.56 p = 4

D 4p = 3.564

Answer 1

To determine the price \( p \) of one candy bar, we can set up the equation based on the total amount paid for the 4 candy bars. Since 4 candy bars cost a total of $3.56, the equation representing this relationship is:

\[
4p = 3.56
\]

Now, solving for \( p \) will give us the price per candy bar:

\[
p = \frac{3.56}{4}
\]

From the provided options, the correct equation that can be used to determine the price \( p \) of 1 candy bar is:

**D** \( 4p = 3.56 \) (This was likely written with a typo as \( 3.564 \), so it may be interpreted correctly if taken as \( 3.56 \)).

Thus, the best answer is **D**.
