Garrett and Carter went to the movies last weekend. Together they bought 2 drinks and 2 popcorns. They spent a total of $12.50. Thursday they met several other friends at the same theater. They purchased 6 drinks and 5 popcorns for a total of $33.75. What was the cost of one drink and one popcorn?

Since Garrett and Carter bought popcorn and drinks, we have to figure out how much money is 1 drink and 1 popcorn. I figured the best way is to figure out half of $12.50 because 2 drinks and 2 popcorn cost that amount of money. You divide $12.50 by 2 to figure out half of that amount. The quotient equals to $6.25.
