Answer:
The cost of one bucket of popcorn is $2.75
The cost of one drink is $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the cost of one bucket of popcorn
y ----> the cost of one drink
we know that
5x+2y=16.25 -----> equation A
3x+y=9.50
y=9.50-3x ----> equation B
Solve the system of equations by substitution
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x
5x+2(9.50-3x)=16.25
5x+19-6x=16.25
6x-5x=19-16.25
x=$2.75
Find the value of y
y=9.50-3x
y=9.50-3(2.75)=$1.25
therefore
The cost of one bucket of popcorn is $2.75
The cost of one drink is $1.25
