To compare the cost per bar for Candy Bar A and Candy Bar B, we can calculate the cost per bar by dividing the total cost by the quantity of bars.

For Candy Bar A:
Cost per bar for 1 bar = $1.25
Cost per bar for 2 bars = $2.50 / 2 = $1.25
Cost per bar for 3 bars = $3.75 / 3 = $1.25
Cost per bar for 4 bars = $5.00 / 4 = $1.25
Cost per bar for 5 bars = $6.25 / 5 = $1.25

The cost per bar for Candy Bar A is $1.25 for every quantity.

For Candy Bar B, the equation y=x represents a proportional relationship where the cost per bar is the same as the quantity of bars.

Therefore, the cost per bar for Candy Bar B is also the same as the quantity of bars.

Since both Candy Bar A and Candy Bar B have the same cost per bar of $1.25, they are equally priced and there is no difference in cost per bar between the two.
