You decide to go to the candy store in the mall. You arrive at the store with $25 and then purchase 3 candy bars. You then buy a giant candy snake for $12.50. When you leave, you have $8.75 left in your wallet. How much did each candy bar cost? Write the equation to represent the scenario. 8.75 - x - 12.50 = 25.00 25.00 - 3x - 12.50 = 8.75 25.00 - 3x - 8.75 = 12.50 25.00x - 12.50 = 8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

given the total amount at hand is $25

let the price of  candy be x

then the cost of 3 candy will  be 3x

the cost of a candy snake is $12.50.

balance at hand after the end of buying $8.75

the total expenses summed up must equal the initial amount at hand which is $25

the expression for the scenario is 3x+12.5+8.75=25

3x+21.25=25

3x=25-21.25

3x=3.75

x=3.75/3

x=$1.25

The cost of a candy is $1.25

(23*2)-12=x     x=34
