answer is probably ice cream
QS would be 42. So the way i did it was I:
8x-51=3x-6
x=9
Plugged into both equations of QR and RS to then get the answer of 42
Full price of popcorn: $3.50
Price of popcorn after half the movie: $1.75
price of drinks: $1.35
The question is....."Determine the cost for purchasing 3 orders of popcorn and 3 drinks when the movie is half over."
$1.75*3=$5.25
$1.35*3=$4.05
the price of the 3 orders of popcorn would be $5.25
The price of the 3 orders of drink would be $4.05
5.25 + 4.05 = $9.30
In total the 3 orders of popcorn and 3 orders of drink would cost $9.30
Hope this helps! :)
A simple way to turn this into an equation is by replacing the words with letters:
1464B = 3/4 S
Then you have to remove the 3/4 from the right side of the equation. You can do this by dividing both sides by 3/4:
1464 / 3/4 = S
Then you have to do the sum:
1464
/ 3
= 0488
488
X 4
= 1952
