Answer:
Number of candy = 8 candy canes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost per candy = $1.05
Amount paid = $10
Change received = $1.60
Total cost = amount paid - change received
Substituting into the equation, we have;
Total cost = 10 - 1.6
Total cost = 8.4
To find the number of candy purchased;
Number of candy = total cost/cost per candy
Number of candy = 8.4/1.05
Number of candy = 8 candy canes.
Therefore, Molly purchased 8 candy canes.
