Sand bought a soft drink for 2 dollars and five candy bars. She spent a total of 17 dollars. How much did each candy bars cost

Answer 1

Let's assume the cost of each candy bar is x dollars.

Sand bought five candy bars, so the total cost of the candy bars is 5x dollars.

She also bought a soft drink for 2 dollars.

Therefore, the total amount spent by Sand is:

5x + 2 = 17

Subtracting 2 from both sides, we get:

5x = 15

Dividing both sides by 5, we get:

x = 3

Therefore, each candy bar costs 3 dollars.
