HELP ASAP PLEASEEE

Answer 1

Soft drink costs $3.50

Explanation:

$15 + $23.50 = $38.50 total that they had together

$13 x 2 = $26 for movie tickets

$4.50 x 2 = $9.00 for popcorn

Add $26 + $9 for tickets and popcorn = $35.00

Subtract $35.00 (movie & popcorn) form total of $38.50 = $3.50

Small soft drink = $3.50 since that was the amount left after buying tickets and popcorn

Answer 2

The cost for a soft drink was $3.50

Explanation:

Angela has a $15 gift certificate.

Total cost for the popcorn and drink and movie tickets = $15 + $23.50 = $38.50

The cost of 2 movie tickets = $13 x 2 = $26

The cost of 2 popcorn = $4.50 x 2 = $9.00

Now we have to find the cost for a soft drink.

Let "x" be the cost for a soft drink.

Total cost = x + The cost of 2 popcorn + The cost of 2 tickets

$38.50 = x + $9 + $26

$38.50 = x + $35

x = $38.50 - $35

x = $3.50

So the cost for a soft drink was $3.50
