Dan bought a soft drink for $2 and 8 candy bars. he spent a total of $18 . how much did each candy bar cost.

Hi there!

Dan spent a total of $18

He spent $2 on a soft drink and the rest he spent on candy bars

So he spent $18 - $2 on candy bars, which means he spent $16 on candy bars

He bought 8 candy bars for $16, so in order to find how much 1 candy bar costs, you need to divide the amout he spent by the total number of candy bar :

$16 ÷ 8 = $2

Which means that each candy bar costs $2.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
