Question

Jackie want to the movie theater where he bought drinks and popcorn bags for his group of friends each drink was $4 and bag of popcorn was $6.He spent a total of $180.He bought a total of 22 items combined. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of drinks and popcorn bags that Jackie bought at the movie theatre.

Answer 1

Let's use the following variables:
- d = number of drinks bought
- p = number of popcorn bags bought

We know the following information:
- Each drink costs $4 and each popcorn bag costs $6
- The total cost was $180
- The total number of items bought was 22

Using this information, we can set up a system of two equations:
- 4d + 6p = 180 (total cost equation)
- d + p = 22 (total number of items equation)

This system of equations can be used to determine the number of drinks and popcorn bags that Jackie bought at the movie theatre.
