Question

A customer at a concession stand bought 2 boxes of popcorn and 3 drinks for $12. Another customer bought 3 boxes of popcorn and 5 drinks for $19. How much does a box of popcorn cost? How much does a drink cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

Box of Popcorn: $3.00

Drink: $2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

If we input the prices into the original problem it would be something like this, (2)3.00 + (3)2.00 = $12.00 (3+3 = 6 and 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 6+6= 12) Or 2x + 3x = $12

And you would do the same thing for the second one.

(3)3.00 + (5)2.00 = $19.00 ( 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 and 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 +2 = 10 10+9= 19) Or 3x + 5x = $19

Sorry if it's incorrect but i hope it helps!
