Question

Yesterday a movie theater sold 294 bags of popcorn. A large bag of popcorn costs $4. A small bag of popcorn costs $1. In all the movie theater made $570 from popcorn sales. Write and solve a system of Equation 1 : ______________ Equation 2: ______________ Small bags sold: _______ Large bags sold: ______

Answer 1

Explanation:

eq 1. L+S=294

eq2. 4L+S=570

L=294-S making 4L+S=570 becom

4(294-S)+S=570

1176-4S+S=570

1176-3S=570

-3S=-606

S=202, since L=294-S

L=294-202

L=92 so

202 small and 92 large popcorns were sold
