Six friends went to a movie and spent $9 per ticket. They also purchased a small bag of popcorn each. If the friends spend a total of $82.50, how much does each small bag of popcorn cost?

Let's call the cost of each small bag of popcorn "x".

The total cost of the tickets was 6 * $9 = $54.

So the total cost of the popcorn was $82.50 - $54 = $28.50.

And the total number of small bags of popcorn was 6.

So, each small bag of popcorn cost $28.50 / 6 = $4.75

Hello!

If six friends went to a movie and spent $9 per each ticket and also purchased a small bag of popcorn each with them spending a total of $82.50, the cost of each small bag of popcorn costs $4.75.

Explanation:


6 ×
9=54


82.50-54=28.50


28.50 ÷
6=4.75

Hope this helps!
