    You bought a magazine for $3 and some candy bars for $2 each. You spent a total of $19. How many candy bars did you buy?

    Calculate the candy bar spend:
    Candy bar spend = Total spend - magazine spend
    Candy bar spend = 19 - 3
    Candy bar spend = 16

    Calculate number of candy bars:
    Number of candy bars = Candy Bar Spend / Cost per candy bar
    Number of candy bars = 16/2
    Number of candy bars = $8
