$40-$10=$30, so Betty spent $30 on the 12 packets of popcorn. This means that we need to share the $30 by 12 to find out how much each packet had cost. $30÷12=$2.50. Therefore, your answer is $2.50.

Set up the equation:

40 - 12x = 10

40 represents the money Betty had initially. 12 is the coefficient for x, and represents how many bags of popcorn Betty bought. x represents the cost of a single bag of popcorn. 10 is the money Betty is left with.

Subtract 40 from both sides:

-12x = -30

Divide both sides by -12 to get x by itself:
x = 2.5

The cost of a single bag of popcorn is $2.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. (2+4+1)/9 = 7/9

2. 2 1/3 + 2/3 = 2 + (1+2)/3 = 2 + 3/3 = 2+1 = 3

3. 1 1/5 + 2 3/5 = 1+2 + 1/5 + 3/5 = 3 + (1+3)/5 =

3 4/5

4. 5/6 + 2/10 + 1/5 = 5/6 + 1/5 + 1/5 = 5/6 + 2/5

= (5×5)/(6×5) + (2×6)/(5×6)

= 25/30 + 12/30

= (25+12)/30

= 37/30 = 1 7/30

5. 3 1/2 + 4 2/3

= 3+4 + 1/2 + 2/3

= 7 + (1×3)/(2×3) + (2×2)/(3×2)

= 7 + 3/6 + 4/6

= 7 + (3+4)/6 = 7 7/6 = 8 1/6

6. 9/13 - 5/13 = (9-5)/13 = 4/13

7. 7 6/8 - 5 2/8

= (7-5) + (6/8 - 2/8)

= 2 + 4/8

= 2 1/2

8. 2/3 - 3/7

= (2×7)/(3×7) - (3×3)/(7×3)

= 14/21 - 9/21 = (14-9)/21 = 5/21

9. 11 1/5 - 5 4/5

= 10 6/5 - 5 4/5

= (10-5) + (6/5 - 4/5)

= 5 + 2/5 = 5 2/5

10. 15 4/5 - 7 7/10

= (15-7) + (4/5 - 7/10)

= 8 + (4×2)/(5×2) - 7/10

= 8 + 8/10 - 7/10

= 8 + 1/10

= 8 1/10

Well this one is very simple. It seems to give 1 lb per 4 dollars spent. So, the best way to state this mathematically is x=4y or x=4×y.
