Question

some friends spent a total of $12.00 on popcorn and drinks at the movie theatre a bucket of popcorn costs $2.00 and a drink costs $1.50 create an equation to represent the relationship between the number of buckets of popcorn x and the number of drinks y the friends bought for $12.00 how many buckets of popcorn did they buy

Answer 1

2x+1.50y=12.00
X is how many popcorn bought and y is how many drinks bought
You have to equal to 12 or 12 dollars but you don't know how many of each product was bought, so 2 * (x) + 1.50 * (y) will give you 12.
