let's make p stand for popcorn and d for drinks. Using those variables, we can create our equations:

2p + 3d = 18.25

4p + 2d = 27.50

From this, we can use substitution or elimination to solve:

For substitution, in the second equations, we could factor out a 2, divide both sides by 2, and then move the left over 2p to the other side to isolate d to put into the first equation.

For elimination, we can multiply the first equation by -2 so that we can remove the 4p and focus on solving for d.

I'll be using elimination in this case:

-2(2p + 3d = 18.25) --> -4p - 6d = -36.50

-4p - 6d = -36.50

4p  + 2d = 27.50

-4d = -9.00

d = 2.25

4p + 2 * 2.25 = 27.50

4p + 4.50 = 27.50

4p = 23.00

p = 5.75

Now let's check our answer:

2 * 5.75 + 3 * 2.25 = 18.25

11.50 + 6.75 = 18.25

18.25 = 18.25

So drinks cost $2.25 and popcorn $5.75

4vir4ik [10]

Answer: 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red balloons = 17

Number of purple balloons = 11

Number of orange balloons = 3

Number of green balloons = 1

Number of yellow balloons = 2

Total number of balloons = 34

The probability that a randomly selected balloon will be red will be:

= Number of red balloons/Total number of balloons

= 17/34

= 1/2
