Answer:

$3 for the small drinks and $4 for the large popcorn

Explanation:

so we know that 2 popcorns and 4 small drinks give us $20 and 2 popcorns and 2 drinks gives us 14. so $6 was taken away because of two drinks and 6÷2 equals 3 therefore $3 is how much a small drink costs. after taking away another 6 from 14 because we found the costs of drinks we get $8 for two popcorns and 8÷2 is 4 so a large popcorn costs $4
