Answer:
The price of a drink = $4
The price of a bag of popcorn = $5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent popcorn and d represent drink
Harper bought 10 bags of popcorn and 6 drinks and paid $79 ➡ 10p + 6d = $79
Damian bought 3 bags of popcorn and 5 drinks and paid $36.50 ➡ 3p + 5d = $36.50
Now multiply first equation by -3 and second equation by 10
-3 × (10p + 6d) = $79 ➡ -30p - 18d = -$237
10 × (3p + 5d) = $36.50 ➡ 30p + 50d = $365
Now add the new equationd
30p + 50d -30p - 18d = $365 - $237 (-30p will eliminate 30p)
32d = $128 divide both sides of the equation by 32
32 ÷ 32d = 32 ÷ $128 ➡ d = 4
If d = 4 that means a drink costs $4 we can use this information to find the price of a bag of popcorn
3p + 5d = $36.50 (replace d with 4)
3p + 4×5 = $36.50
3p + 20 = $36.50
3p = $36.50 - 20
3p = 16.50 divide both sides by 3
p = $5.5

Answer:

<C=26

<B=48

<D=106

<F=42

Step-by-step explanation:

I labeled all the angles to help this make more sense :)

So first we find <C, which is supplementary to <E so just do 180-154=26

Next, we know that <F and <B are equal because they form corresponding angles.

Angles <C <D and <B form a triangle. The three angles of a triangle always equal 180. Now that we know angles <C and <B, we just do 180-26-48=106.

Lastly, to find angle A, we just take 180-106-48=42.

Hope this helps
