Answer: $5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the small candy be represented by x.
The medium candy was twice as expensive as the small candy. This will be: = 2×x = 2x
The large candy was $5 more than the medium candy. This will be: = 2x + 5
Since Jason spent a total of $30 on
candy, the cost of the small candy will be:
x + 2x + 2x + 5 = 30
5x + 5 = 30
5x = 30 - 5
5x = 25
x = 25/5
x= 5
The small candy cost $5
