6 friends go to the movies. Tickets cost $12 and each person buys popcorn. They spend $156 altogether. Write and solve an equation to find the cost of one p, popcorn. Be sure to include the equation as part of your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

p = 14

Equation:

$156=12x+6p$

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation:

Let x = # of friends that went to the movies

Let p = cost of 1 popcorn

$156=12(6)+6p$

$156=72+6p\\84=6p$

Divide both sides by 6

$p=14$
