Answer:

cost of popcorn bag is 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the cost of a popcorn bag

let the cost of a bag of popcorn be p

let the cost of a bag of candy bar be c

Mathematically;

28p + 40c = 282

17p + 20c = 160.50

Multiply ii by 2 and subtract from i

28p + 40c = 282

34p + 40c = 321

34p-28p = 321-282

6p = 39

p = 39/6

p = 6.5
