Answer:
Per ounce better buy is <em>Happy popcorn</em>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Happy popcorn price for 16 ounces = $1.39
Popper popcorn price for 34 ounces = $2.79
Discount coupon present with Gabe = 40 ¢ = $0.40
To find:
Which brand is the better buy per ounce?
Solution:
First of all, let us calculate the price that Gabe has to pay after the discount coupon being applied.
Price for 16 ounces of Happy popcorn after discount = $1.29 - $0.40 = $0.99
Price for 1 ounce of Happy popcorn after discount =
= $0.062
Price for 34 ounces of Popper popcorn after discount = $2.79 - $0.40 = $2.39
Price for 1 ounce of Popper popcorn after discount =
= $0.070
Clearly, per ounce price of Happy popcorn is lesser than that of Popper popcorn.
Therefore per ounce better buy is <em>Happy popcorn</em>.

You can work these in your head if you consider the revenue generated by the least contributor (children's tickets) and the difference in revenue between that and the larger contributor ($2.00 -1.50 = 0.50).
If all were children's tickets, the revenue would be 500*$1.50 = $750.00. The actual revenue exceeded that amount by $862.50 -750.00 = 112.50. This difference in revenue is made up by the sale of $112.50/$0.50 = 225 adult tickets. Then the number of children's tickets is 500 -225 = 275.
225 adult tickets were sold
275 children's tickets were sold.
_____
If you need an equation, you can write an equation using a variable for the number of adult tickets sold (the largest contributor).
.. (500 -a)*1.50 +a*2.00 = 862.50
.. 0.50a = (862.50 -750.00) . . . . . does this look familiar, yet?
.. a = 112.50/0.50 = 225
It does represent a direct variation.
Direct variation: y = kx
y varies directly with x
Your equation 2y = 5x + 1 is in the form of y = kx but we need to divide out the 2 from 2y so we have the following
2y = 5x + 1
2y / 2 = 5 x/ 2 + 1/2
y = 5x / 2 + 1/2
y = kx
k = 5/2
k = constant of variation = 5/2
