To find the cost difference, we need to calculate the total cost of each quantity of candy bars.
For 17 candy bars at 79 cents each:
Total cost = 17 * $0.79 = $13.43
For 21 candy bars at 65 cents each:
Total cost = 21 * $0.65 = $13.65
The cost difference between the two quantities is:
$13.65 - $13.43 = $0.22
Therefore, the correct statement is:
C. The 21 candy bars cost 22 cents more than 17 candy bars.
