    We need to find how many candy bars they need to sell to make at least $400

    We know that they already raised $120.

    We also know each candy cost $1.50 a piece.

    We know that they need to make $400.

    Represent this as an equation:

    400 = 1.50x + 120

    x = amount of candy bars

    Solve the equation to get how many candy bars they need to sell:

    400 = 1.50x + 120

    Subtract 120 from both sides

    280 = 1.50x

    Divide both sides by 1.50

    186.66 = x

    Round to the nearest whole

    187 = x

    Answer:

    They would need to sell at least 187 candy bars
