Write an equation and solve

A candy bad costs $0.95, which is nineteen times the price of hard candy. What is the price of a piece of hard candy

1 answer

Let's assume the price of a piece of hard candy is x dollars.

According to the given information, a candy bar costs $0.95, which is nineteen times the price of hard candy.

So, we can write the equation:

0.95 = 19x

Now, let's solve for x:

Divide both sides of the equation by 19:
0.95/19 = x

0.05 = x

Therefore, the price of a piece of hard candy is $0.05.
