Question

If I went to the concession stand and bought a slushee for 3$ and bags of popcorn for 4 each. I spent 27$. How much bags of popcorn did I buy?

Answer 1

6 bags

Explanation:

To determine how many bags of popcorn you bought, we can set up an equation based on the information given.

Let's assume the number of bags of popcorn you bought is 'x'.

The cost of the slushie is $3.

The cost of each bag of popcorn is $4.

The total amount spent is $27.

So, the equation is: 3 + 4x = 27.

To solve for 'x', we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

First, subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:

4x = 27 - 3

4x = 24

Then, divide both sides by 4 to solve for 'x':

x = 24 / 4

x = 6

Therefore, you bought 6 bags of popcorn.
