Question

Your school is having a fundraiser. You are selling candy bars that have been donated by the Hershey Company. You set a personal goal of raising $200 for your school and met that goal. You sold a total of 120 candy bars and one neighbor gave you a $20 donation without taking any candy bars. Write and solve an equation to determine how much each candy bar sold for.

Answer 1

120x+20=200

120x=200-20

120x=180

x=180/120

x=1.5

Each bar cost $1.5
