Answer 1

Answer:

We took $ 24 to the movies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total money be

On movies = Half of the money =$\frac{x}{2}$

On popcorn =  $\frac{x}{4}$

on candy = $2

On soda = $3

total money spent =  $\frac{x}{2}$ +$\frac{x}{4}$+ 2+3+1

         x   =  $\frac{x}{2}$ +$\frac{x}{4}$+ 2+3+1

x- $\frac{x}{2}$ -$\frac{x}{4}$ = 6

$\frac{x}{1}$ -$\frac{x}{2}$ - $\frac{x}{4}$  =6

    $\frac{4x-2x-x}{4} = 6\\ \frac{x}{4} =6\\x =24$
