we will have to buy 12.

<h3>How to solve?</h3>

We know to begin with that for x candy bards:

x / 10 = 0.89; x = 8.90

We are trying to ascertain how many bars (y) must be added to this to amount to have an average of 0.80.  This is represented:

(8.9 + 0.72y) / (10 + y) = 0.8

8.9 + 0.72y = 0.8 (10 + y)

8.9 + 0.72y = 8 + 0.8y

8.9 – 8 = 0.8y - 0.72y

0.9 = 0.08y

y = 0.9 / 0.08 = 11.25

However, since we cannot have a partial amount of candy bars, we will have to buy 12.
