Answer 2

Answer:

The cost of a candy bar is $0.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the provided first sentence preceded along the lines, 'total cost of a candy bar and a bag of chips is $1.70.'

--Intially, determine the quotient of 1.70 and the two quantities.

+ Result should be 0.85

Thus symbolizing .85 is the valid price of a candy bar and a bag of chips.

------------------------- Although, we are not done. -----------------------------------

Let's take the second sentence into account.

"If the cost of a candy bar and 2 bags of chips is $2.45, what is the cost of a candy bar?"

Determine the sum of .75 and (.85*2)

Alert: .75 came from subtracting 10 from the intial .85

Thus the sum is $2.45, which was stated earlier as the cost of a candy bar and 2 bags of chips.
