Hi!
First, let's add (or multiply) the boxes of popcorn.
2.50 + 2.50 + 2.50 (or 2.50 x 3) is 7.50. so the popcorn all together is $7.50.
Next, we subtract the popcorn cost from the cost altogether.
26.50 - 7.50 = $19
Next, we divide the $19 by two.
19 ÷ 2 = 9.50
To make sure this is true, what we do is multiply 2 x 9.50.
2 x 9.50 = 19.
<h2>
So 9.50 is your answer.</h2>
(NOTICE: your problem says a family of 4. you didn't give me the total for the other 2 people who were going to the movie, so this is just my estimate for just those 2 adults. If it's not correct, that is the reason why, otherwise, it is the answer.)
Hope this helps!
