Answer explanation

The question states that the bag of candy normally sells for $4, and the price is half off the day after Halloween. To find the price after the discount, we simply divide the original price by 2. So, $4 divided by 2 equals $2. Therefore, the price of the candy the day after Halloween is $2.
