Let j = cost of one jumbo popcorn, and c = cost of one chocolate chip cookie.

Then, based upon the given info, 1j + 2c = $5.

Also, 3j + 5c = $14.50

Let's solve this system of equations using addition/subtraction:

Mult. the first equation by -3, to obtain   -3j - 6c = -$15

Now add this result to the 2nd equation:   

-3j - 6c = -$15
3j + 5c = $14.50
----------------------
     -c = -$0.50, or c = $0.50.       Since   3j + 5c = $14.50, subst. $0.50 for c 
lets us find j:

3j + 5($0.50) = $14.50, so 3j = $12.00.  Thus, j = $4.00.


Jumbo popcorn is $4/bag, and choc. chip cookies $0.50 each.

Mickey and Donald earn $53 weekend after taxes Mickeys share is seven dollars greater than Donald's how much does Donald earn ea
igor_vitrenko [27]

Donald earns $23 each weekend and Mickey earns $30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Money earned by Mickey and Donald = $53

Let,

Share of Mickey = x

Share of Donald = y

According to given statement;

x+y=53    Eqn 1

x = y+7     Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

(y+7)+y=53\\y+7+y=53\\2y=53-7\\2y=46

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{46}{2}\\y=23

Putting y=23 in Eqn 2

x=23+7\\x=30

Donald earns $23 each weekend and Mickey earns $30.
