Question

Gavin and Caleb go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends.

Gavin spends a total of $22.25 on 2 bags of popcorn and 3 drinks.

Caleb spends a total of $39.00 on 12 bags of popcorn and 4 drinks.

Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink.​

Answer 1

Answer:

popcorn=$1

dring=$6.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the popcorn = P

Let the drink = D

2*P + 3*D = 22.25        

12*P + 4D = 39.00

12P + 18D = 133.5      

- 14D = - 94.50        

-14D/-14 = -94.5/-14

D = 6.75

6.75x3=20.25

20.25+2P=22.25

P=1
