    The answer for the question in this problem would be $12 is the price of candy bars. This is computed by establishing the equation based on the statement, x + y = 20 and 3x + 5y = 76. Follows:

    3 (20 - y) + 5y = 76

    60 - 3y + 5y = 76

    2y = 16

    y = 8

    x = 20 - y

    x = 20 - 8

    x = 12
