The linear equation that represents the scenario is 5x + 2.5y = 20
<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>The given parameters are:
- Popcorn = $5 per bag
- Candy = $2.5 per bag i.e. half the price of pop corn
Let x represents popcorn and y represents candy.
So, we have:
5x + 2.5y = 20
The intercepts in this case are the maximum number of candy and popcorn Rhonda can buy
