For this case we propose a system of equations:

x: Represents the amount of small popcorn tubs

y: Represents the amount of large popcorn tubs

According to the data we have to:

3x + 4y = 24 (Spending all the money in your wallet)

x + y = 7 (Buying 7 popcorn tubs)

From the second equation we have:

x = 7-y

Substituting in the first equation:

3 (7-y) + 4y = 24\\21-3y + 4y = 24\\21 + y = 24\\y = 24-21\\y = 3

Thus, Katie can buy 3 large tubs of popcorn.

So:

x = 7-3\\x = 4

In addition, you can buy 4 small tubs of popcorn.

Answer:

3 large popcorn tubs.

4 small popcorn tubs.
