Cost of 1 drink=$4

Required

we need to find how much would it cost for for 4 bags of popcorn and 6 drinks.

we also need to find how much would it cost for p number of bags and d drinks.

Explanation

Here

cost of 1 bag of popcorn=$5.50

so cost of 4 bags of popcorn=

$5.50\times4=22\text{ dollars}$

Now cost of 1 drink=$4

so cost of 6 drinks=

$6\times4=24\text{ dollars}$

Now cost of 4 bags of popcorn and 6 drinks=22+24=$46

Also cost of p bags of popcorn=5.50p

cost of d drinks=4d

so cost of p bags of popcorn and d drinks=$(5.50p+4d).
