Answer:

The cost of each candy bar is $3....

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

x= $4 (soft drink)

z= price of each candy bar

y=5z(Total price of 5 candy bars)

C= $19(spent money)

The equation is:

C= x+y

$19=$4+5z

Subtract 4 from both sides:

$15=5z

Divide both sides by 5

z=$3

Hence the cost of each candy bar is $3....
