Teah was selling candy bars for a fundraiser. She spent $25 on a box of candy bars and sold each candy bar for $2.50. Her profit was $75. Teah wrote the equation 2.5c - 25 = 75 for this situation, and she found c = 40. Which statement is true about the solution c = 40?
A) The solution c = 40 is the number of candy bars Teah sold.
B) The solution c = 40 is the profit in dollars Teah made from each candy bar.
C) The solution c = 40 is the amount in dollars that Teah spent on a box.
D) The solution c = 40 is the selling cost of a box of candy bars, in dollars.
E) The solution c = 40 is the selling cost of each candy bar, in dollars.
You can substitute 40 into c, work out the equation and you'll get $75 as the profit. Each candy bar is $2.5 so c would be the number of candy bars she sold.
