Answer 2

I will accept 3 lollipops for 1 candy bar.

Explanation:

3 candy bars can be traded for 2 pieces of pizza, and 1 piece of pizza can be traded for 4 lollipops.

Given that

3 candy bars = 2 pieces of pizza, that is

1 piece of pizza = 1.5 candy bar

Also given

1 piece of pizza = 4 lollipops

1.5 candy bar = 4 lollipops

`\texttt{1 candy bar = }(4)/(1.5)\texttt{lollipops}`

1 candy bar = 2.67 lollipops ≅ 3 lollipops

So I will accept 3 lollipops for 1 candy bar.
