Ben and Carson went to the movies with friends. Ben purchased 3 popcorn and 2 boxes of candy for $41. Carson purchased 1 popcorn and 2 boxes of candy for $29. How much did the popcorn cost?

Sagot :

Answer:

$6

Step-by-step explanation:

B- 3P+2C=$41

C-1P+2C=$29

since they both bought at least 1 popcorn and 2 candy you can just subtract 29 from 41. you get 12 which equals the other 2 popcorns that ben bought

12/2=6

since you need to find the price of 1 popcorn you have to divide 12 by 2
