Question

Morgan and her 4 friends went to the movies. All five of them bought a medium Soda and a small popcorn, One medium soda cost $4.25 and they spent $37.50 all together. How much is one small popcorn?

(I need to know what the equation is only, thanks!)

Answer 1

$3.25/ ummm i dont know how to put it into a equation hopefully this helps

Step-by-step explanation

Soda cost bought total: 5(4.25)= $21.25

Small popcorn bough total : $37.50- $21.25= $16.25

one small popcorn: $16.25 ÷ 5= $3.25

Answer 2

37.50=(4.25*5)+(5x)

Explanation:

the total price = 5 sodas + 5 popcorns

replace sodas with 4.25 and the total price with 37.50

use a variable for popcorns since you don't know

37.50=(4.25*5)+(5x)

solve algebraically (you said you didn't need more than the equation so I won't solve further, but if you want me to I can)
