1.) 15 is how much he has, -3 is the price of the popcorn, -2is the price of the soda. =x is what needs to be solved in the equation (its 10 if you need the answer)
2.) He can buy 3 sodas because 3 boxes of popcorn is $9 since one box is $3, he has $15 you take away $9 and you are left with $6 and 6 divided by 2 is 3.
