Question

Leo sold candy bars for a fundraiser. He spent $25 on a box of candy bars and sold them for $2 each. His profit (after earning back the $25) was $69, so he used the equation $2c−$25=$69 to find out how many candy bars he sold.When he solves the equation, he gets c=47.What does this mean in the context of the situation?

Answer 1

As given by the question

There are given that the $2c-$25=$69.

Now,

$\begin{gathered} 2c- 25= 69 \\ 2c- 25+25= 69 +25 \\ 2c= 69 +25 \\ 2c=94 \\ c=\frac{94}{2} \\ c=47\text{ bars} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the correct answer is C.
