Answer
$1.94 was the original price of the candy bar before the increase.
Solution
Candy bars have increased in price by 8% in recent years.
If today's price is approximately $2.10
Let X be the original price.
$2.10 be the 108% of original price X
So we can write, X(108)/100 = $2.10
X =( 2.10 x 100)/108 = $1.94
$1.94 was the original price of the candy bar before the increase
