Brianna and Ava go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Brianna spends a total of $39.00 on 2 bags of popcorn and 2 drinks. Ava spends a total of $174.50 on 8 bags of popcorn and 10 drinks. Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink. Using these equations, determine and state the price of a drink, to the nearest cent.

2p + 2d = 39 (1)

8p + 10d = 174.50 (2)

Price of one drink is $9.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of a bag of popcorn be p.

Let the price of a drink be d.

Brianna spends a total of $39.00 on 2 bags of popcorn and 2 drinks. This implies that:

2p + 2d = 39 (1)

Ava spends a total of $174.50 on 8 bags of popcorn and 10 drinks. This implies that:

8p + 10d = 174.50 (2)

We now have two system of equations which we can use to find the price of a bag of popcorn and drink:

2p + 2d = 39 (1)

8p + 10d = 174.50 (2)

Multiply (1) by 4 subtract from (2):

 8p + 10d = 174.50 (2)

- 8p + 8d = 156    (1)

        2d = 18.50

=>       d = $9.25

The price of one drink is $9.25

answer: e 9, 5.75

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the variation ab in the x coordinate

delta x=(x2-x1)=10-> 8 units

find the variation ab  in the y coordinate 

delta y=(y2-y1)=6-> 2 units

step 2

find the coordinates point c

  x coordinate 

cx=ax+delta x*2/> cx=2+8*(2/> cx=3

  y coordinate 

cy=ay+delta y*2/> cy=4+2*(2/> cy=4.25

the coordinates of point c are (3,4.25)

step 3

find the coordinates point d

  x  coordinate 

dx=ax+delta x*4/> dx=2+8*(4/> dx=4

  y  coordinate 

dy=ay+delta y*4/> dy=4+2*(4/> dy=4.5

the coordinates of point d are (4, 4.5)

step 4

find the coordinates point e

  x  coordinate 

ex=ax+delta x*4/> ex=2+8*(6/> ex=5

  y  coordinate 

ey=ay+delta y*4/> ey=4+2*(6/> ey=4.75

the coordinates of point e are (5, 4.75)

step 5

find the coordinates point f

  x  coordinate 

fx=ax+delta x*4/> fx=2+8*(8/> fx=6

  y  coordinate 

fy=ay+delta y*4/> fy=4+2*(8/> fy=5

the coordinates of point f are (6,5)

step 6

find the coordinates point g

  x  coordinate 

gx=ax+delta x*4/> gx=2+8*(10/> gx=7

  y  coordinate 

gy=ay+delta y*4/> gy=4+2*(10/> gy=5.25

the coordinates of point g are (7,5.25)

step 7

find the coordinates point h

  x  coordinate 

hx=ax+delta x*4/> hx=2+8*(12/> hx=8

  y  coordinate 

hy=ay+delta y*4/> hy=4+2*(12/> hy=5.5

the coordinates of point h are (8,5.5)

step 8

find the coordinates point i

  x  coordinate 

ix=ax+delta x*4/> ix=2+8*(14/> ix=9

  y  coordinate 

iy=ay+delta y*4/> iy=4+2*(14/> iy=5.75

the coordinates of point i are (9,5.75)
