Some friends went to a local movie theater and bought four large buckets of popcorn and six boxes of candy. the total for the snacks was $46.50.the last you were at the theater, you bought a large bucket of popcorn and a box of candy, and the total was $9.75. how much would 2 large buckets of popcorn and 3 boxes of candy cost?

The total of 2 buckets of popcorn and 3 boxes of candy would be $23.25

To answer this question you need to form a set of simultaneous equations and solve them. We can do this by saying that a bucket of popcorn = P, and a box of candy = C. Then we can say:

4P + 6C = 46.50

P + C = 9.75

There are then two possible ways to solve; you can either say that C = 9.75 - P using the second equation and then substitute it into the first, or you can multiply the second equation by either 4 or 6 to cancel out P or C.

I’m going to multiply the second equation by 4:

4P + 4C = 39

Now we can subtract this for, the first equation:

4P + 6C = 46.50

4P + 4C = 39

2C = 7.50

C = 3.75

Now we can substitute this value of C into one of the equations to find P:

P + C = 9.75

P + 3.75 = 9.75

P = 6

And now to answer the question, you just multiply P by 2 and C by 3 and add them together, which gives you $23.25

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
