Determine earnings of selling candy

First, we need to determine the total earnings.

[tex]Total\ Earnings = Individuals * Individual\ Earnings[/tex]

[tex]Total\ Earnings = 2 * \$100[/tex]

[tex]Total\ Earnings = \$200[/tex]

Since the total earnings is from recycling and candy, we have:

[tex]Candy + Recycling = Total\ Earnings[/tex]

[tex]Candy + \$12= \$200[/tex]

[tex]Candy = \$200 - \$12[/tex]

[tex]Candy = \$188[/tex]
