Answer

$1.94 was the original price of the candy bar before the increase.

Solution

Candy bars have increased in price by 8% in recent years.  

If today's price is approximately $2.10  

Let X be the original price.  

$2.10 be the 108% of original price X

So we can write,  X(108)/100 = $2.10

X =( 2.10 x 100)/108 = $1.94

$1.94 was the original price of the candy bar before the increase

answer: x= -2y
