Question

Samuel and Christopher go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends.

Answer 1

Answer:

Drink=5.75

Popcorn=1.83

Percentage for drink=75.9%

Step-by-step explanation

Let the popcorn be p

the drinks be d

6p+4d=34....(1)

12p+7d=66.25...(2)

Multiply (1) by 2

12p+8d=72....(3)

Substrate (2) from (3)

d=5.75

Substitute the value for d into (1)

6p+4(5.75)=34

6p+23=34

Substrate 23 from both sides

6p=11

Divide both sides by 6

p=1.83

So for one drink=$5.75

For one popcorn=$1.83

To determine the% for drink

5.75+1.83=7.58

5.75/7.58 ×100

575/7.58

75.858~75.9%

The percentage for drink is 75.9%
