The absolute value
returns the "positive version" of a number.
In other words, if the number is positive, it remains positive; if the number is negative, it changes sign.
So, if we want
, we want the "positive version" of x to be 9.
This can happen in two ways: if x is already 9, then its absolute value is still nine. If instead x=-9, its positive value will be 9 again.
In formula, we have

because

1000 candy bars ... $350
1 candy bar ... $x = ?
If you would like to know what is the unit cost per candy bar, you can calculate this using the following steps:
1000 * x = 350 * 1
1000 * x = 350 /1000
x = 350 / 1000
x = $0.35
Result: She can buy 1 candy bar for $0.35, so the correct result would be B) $.35.
