Every time Carl earned $0.50 he would go to the corner market and buy a candy bar. Carl's neighbor said he would pay him $0.75 every week for taking out his trash. At the end of four weeks, how many candy bars will Carl be able to buy? Let's be accurate as possible.

He is paid $0.75 every week for 4 weeks, so Carl made .75 * 4 = $3.00 in 4 weeks. Each candy bar cost $0.50 and he made $3.00 so 3.00 / .50 = 6 candy bars.
The answer: 6.
