To find out how much a customer saves per candy bar with the sale at Sugarland, we need to compare the sale price with the regular price.

  1. Regular Price: The regular price of one candy bar is $0.75.

  2. Sale Price for Three Candy Bars: The sale is three candy bars for $1.50.

    To find the price per candy bar at the sale price, we divide the total sale price by the number of candy bars: \[ \text{Sale price per candy bar} = \frac{1.50}{3} = 0.50 \]

  3. Savings per Candy Bar: Now, we can calculate the savings per candy bar by subtracting the sale price from the regular price: \[ \text{Savings} = \text{Regular Price} - \text{Sale Price} = 0.75 - 0.50 = 0.25 \]

Thus, a customer saves $0.25 per candy bar with the sale.
