4) Mrs. Childress paid \( \$ 25.92 \) for 3 packs of candy for her candy bûcket. How much did one pack cost individually if they were each the same price?

To find the cost of one pack of candy, divide the total price by the number of packs. So, \( \$ 25.92 \div 3 = \$ 8.64 \). This means each pack of candy cost \( \$ 8.64 \). Sweet deal for a candy bûcket! Now, think about it: candy pricing often gets tricky with promotions or bulk discounts. Always check if buying in larger quantities gives you a better deal, because sometimes you might think you’re saving a dollar, but then realize you're only getting half the candy!
