Answer:the cost of one drink is $7

the cost of 1 bag of popcorn is $6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one drink.

Let y represent the cost of 1 bag of popcorn.

Aiden spends a total of $46.00 on 6 drinks and 1 bag of popcorn. This means that

6x + y = 46 - - - -- - - - - - -1

Jeremiah spends a total of $134.00 on 12 drinks and 8 bags of popcorn. This means that

12x + 8y = 134 - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 8 and equation 2 by 1, it becomes

48x + 8y = 368

12x + 8y = 134

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes

36x = 234

x = 234/36 = 6.5

Substituting x = 6.5 into equation 1, it becomes

6 × 6.5 + y = 46

39 + y = 46

y = 46 - 39 = 7

Please help i’m confused
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The answer is A. t = 0.4n

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>See how on the graph, when n is 2, t is around 1? We just plug in 2 into n into the equation, t=0.4n. 0.4 times 2 is 0.8, so t=0.8. 0.8 is around 1, so a is right.</em><em> </em>If we tried the same thing with one of the other choices, like B. t=2.5n, then plugging in 2 into n would give us 2 times 2.5, which is 5. 5 is nowhere around 1, making it wrong.
