Question

The candles turn out great! So, the candle maker raises her normal price and sells 5 candles for $ 27 . She usually charges $14.25 for 3 candles. How many dollars, per candle, did the candle maker raise her price?

Answer 1

She raised the price by $0.65

14.25 divided by 3 =
$4.75 ( normal price per candle)

27 divided by 5 =
$5.40 (new price per candle)

$5.40 - $4.75 = $0.65
