To find the price of one box of candy, we can set up an equation based on the information given.
Let \( x \) be the price of one box of candy.
Mr. Majors ordered six boxes of candy and one bucket of popcorn, which costs $3.20. The total cost is $18.20. We can express this relationship mathematically as follows:
\[ 6x + 3.20 = 18.20 \]
Now, we can solve for \( x \):
- Subtract $3.20 from both sides of the equation:
\[ 6x = 18.20 - 3.20 \] \[ 6x = 15.00 \]
- Now divide both sides by 6:
\[ x = \frac{15.00}{6} \] \[ x = 2.50 \]
Thus, the price of one box of candy is $2.50.
