Question

Write and solve the equation for the following questions:

Leo ordered 4 large popcorn and soda combos. Each combo cost the same amount. With a $5
movie membership fee, the total cost was $68.96. How much did each popcorn and soda combo cost?

Answer 1

$15.99

Explanation:

Let y = the total cost

Let x = the cost of the combo

4x + 5 = 68.96 Subtract 5 from both sides

4x = 63.96 Divide both sides by 4

x = 15.99
