Answer:

  • A bag of popcorn costs $10.25
  • One drink costs $2,5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a bag of popcorn=p

Let the cost of a drink=d

Mason spends a total of $45.75 on 3 bags of popcorn and 6 drinks.

  • Therefore: 3p+6d=45.75

Christian spends a total of $71.50 on 6 bags of popcorn and 4 drinks.

  • Therefore: 6p+4d=71.50

The required system of equations is:

  • 3p+6d=45.75
  • 6p+4d=71.50

Multiply the first equation by 2 to eliminate p

6p+12d=91.5

6p+4d=71.50

Subtract

8d=20

d=20/8=$2.5

Substitute d=2.5 into any of the equations to obtain p.

6p+12d=91.5

6p+12(2.5)=91.5

6p=91.5-12(2.5)

6p=91.5-30

6p=61.5

Divide both sides by 6

p=$10.25

Therefore:

  • A bag of popcorn costs $10.25
  • One drink costs $2,5

Michael reads 12 pages of a book in 18 minutes. If he reads at the same rate, how many pages will he read in 37 minutes?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Around 25 pages / 1.5 minute(s)

18 / 12 = 1.5 minutes per paper.

So, 18 + 18 = 36 + 1 = 37 minutes

12 + 12 = 24 + 1 = 25
