At the movie theater Leon can buy 4 large popcorns or 2 large popcorns and 3 candy bars for the same price. If the candy bars cost $6 each, how much is one large popcorn?

4p = 2p + 3c....p = popcorn, c = candy bars
c = 6

4p = 2p + 3(6)
4p = 2p + 18
4p - 2p = 18
2p = 18
p = 18/2
p = 9......whoa....9 bucks for popcorn....nothing is cheap anymore
