Solve the real-world situation by using the substitution method. A movie theater sells popcorn and fountain drinks. Brett buys 1 popcorn bucket and 3
fountain drinks for his family, which costs him a total of $30.50. Sarah buys 3 popcorn
buckets and 4 fountain drinks for her family, which costs her a total of $47.75. If p
represents the number of popcorn buckets and d represents the number of drinks, then the
(30.50 = p + 3d
47.75 = 3p + 4d
system of equations
can be used to represent this situation.
Find the cost of a popcorn bucket and the cost of a fountain drink.
The cost of a bucket of popcorn is $|
