Question

Cindy took her five grandchildren to the movies, where she offered to buy all of them popcorn and candy. A popcorn bag costs $4.00, and a box of candy costs $2.50. Cindy ended up spending $35.00 and purchasing one more box of candy than bags of popcorn.
Use a system of equations to model the situation above, and determine which of the following is a possible description of Cindy's purchase.

Answer 1

Answer:

She buys 5 boxes of popcorn and 6 boxes of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because 5 times 4.00 is 20$ and 2.50 times 6 is 15$

15 + 20 is 35

so your answer is 5 boxes of popcorn and 6 boxes of candy

hope this helped :D
