if the price of a candy bar is doubled, by what percent will sales of the candy bar decrease?
1. for every ten cent increase in price, the sales will decrease by 5 percent.
2. each candy bar now costs 60 cents.

Please help me.

A is sufficient since the total price increase is 100% and you know that for every 10% increase in price the sale decreases by 5%. No need to calculate the final decrease though
B is not sufficient since the price of candy does not tell us the decrease in sale
