Answer:

A drink costs $4.50 and a bag of popcorn costs $5.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

The system would be:

6d+6p=57\\4d+3p=33\\

I'll be using the subtraction method first, to find d (price of a drink):

+6d+6p=+57\\-8d-6p=-66\\--------\\-2d=-9\\\\2d=9\\d=4.5

Now, we substitute in and solve for p:

6(4.5)+6p=57\\27+6p=57\\6p=30\\p=5

Finally, we use the second equation to check the values:

4(4.5)+3(5)=33\\18+15=33\\33=33

So:

\left \{ {{d=4.5} \atop {p=5}} \right.
