Brandon and his friend combined their allowance of $900 each, so they could buy a movie a 2-for-1 movie ticket for $1200. They bought $200 bags of popcorn with the remaining money and split the amount evenly between them. How many containers of popcorn did each boy get?

Answer:

1.5 bags

Explanation:


They each had 900 dollars, so when combined they have 1800 dollars. They bought a movie ticket for 1200 dollars, so they now have 1800-1200=600 dollars.

600/2 is 300. Each bag of popcorn costs 200 dollars. So they could each buy 1.5 bags of popcorn.
