Question

Herman joins three of his friends at the movies. They decide to share a jumbo box of popcorn to save money. A jumbo box is twelve inches on all sides. What is the volume of a jumbo box of popcorn? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

$4.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of drink be x

price of tub y

You have 4x+2y=32.5 (1) and

x = y -3.5                 (2)

Plug for x from (2) into (1):

4(y-3.5) + 2y = 32.5

4y -14 +2y = 32.5

6y = 14+32.5

y = (46.5)/6 = $7.75 the price of tub

x= y-3.5 = 7.75 - 3.5 = $4.25
