16% = 0.16
'of' = multiplication
0.16 * 140 = 22.4
Not impressed that you consider yourself "too lazy" to at least get started on the solution of this problem. Why not "give it the old college try?"
Start by choosing letters to represent the unit cost of each popcorn and drink:
p: popcorn, d: drink.
Then 2p + 3d = $22.25 and 12p+4d=$39.00
Note that the unit of measurement of all 6 terms here is " $ ".
Solve this system of linear equations simultaneously:
2p + 3d = $22.25
12p+4d=$39.00
In your shoes I would mult. the first equation by -6 and then combine the result with the second equation. p will temporarily disappear, and you'll be left with an equation in d only, enabling you to find the unit cost of a drink.

First, let's put this in Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
4y - 2x = 24 Add 2x to both sides
4y = 2x + 24 Divide both sides by 4
y = (1/2)x + 6
Now that we're in slope-intercept we can easily find the y and x intercepts/
b = 6, so the y-intercept equals 6. Plug zero in for x to confirm!
Now we plug 0 in for y to find the x intercept:
0 = (1/2)x + 6 Subtract 6 from both sides
-6 = (1/2) x Multiply both sides by 2
-12 = x
The x intercept is -12
In Conlusion:
x-intercept = -12
y- intercept = 6
