Lizzy: Jaron wants to raise enough money selling candy bars to win the Nintendo Switch prize. He needs 2000 points for the Nintendo Switch. He has already sold 8 chocolate bunnies that are worth 100 points each. Each Snickers bar he sells earns 25 points. How many Snickers bars does he need to sell the win the Nintendo Switch?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
Jaron has earned a total of 8 * 100 points = 800 points. To win the Switch he needs to earn 2000 - 800 = 1200 points. Therefore, he needs to sell 1200 / 25 = 48 Snickers bars. Final answer: 48.
