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
