Daniela, Kieu, and Cameron decide to go to the movies one hot summer afternoon. The theater is having a summer special called Three Go Free. They will get free movie tickets if they each buy a large popcorn and a large soft drink. They take the deal and spend a total of $22.50 on large popcorns and soft drinks. The next week, they go back again, only this time, they each pay $8 for a ticket, they each get a large soft drink, but they share one large bucket of popcorn. This return trip costs them a total of$37.50. Use systems of equations to find the price of a large soft drink and the price of a large bucket of popcorn!

Price of a large soft drink = $3

Price of large bucket of popcorn = $4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of one large popcorn = $P

And the cost of one large soft drink = $S

If Daniela, Kieu and Cameron avail the deal of Three Go Free,

3P + 3S = 22.50

P + S = 7.5 (1)

Next time they each pay $8 for a ticket, they each get a large soft drink but they share one large bucket of popcorn.

This trip cost them = $37.50

Cost of 3 tickets + Cost of 3 large soft drinks + Cost of one large bucket of popcorn = 37.50

(3 × 8) + (3 × S) + P = 37.5

24 + 3S + P = 37.5

3S + P = 13.5 (2)

By subtracting equation (1) from equation (2),

(3S + P) - (P + S) = 13.5 - 7.5

2S = 6

S = $3

From equation (1),

P + 3 = 7.5

P = $4.5

Therefore, price of a large soft drink is $3 and a large bucket of popcorn is $4.5

what are ur choices?
