In January, the cost per candy bar = $3

Number of bars sold = 50

Revenue = 50 * 3 = $150

In February, the cost was increased by a dollar. Cost per candy bar = 3 + 1 = $4

Revenue increased by $10 from January. Revenue = 150 + 10 = $160


Therefore number of candy bars sold in February = 160/4 = 40


Dip in Sales = 50 - 40 = 10
