Answer:
$6.50 per bag of popcorn
Explanation:
let a bag of popcorn be represented by p and a candy bar be b
28p + 40b= $282
17p + 20b= $160.50
this is an example of stimatanelous equations
so you have to double the second equation to give 34p + 40b =$321
subtract the equations to give one
6p =$39
divide $39 by 6 to give the value of one bag of popcorn = $6.50
