Naomi and sofia go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. naomi spends a total of $111.25 on 9 drinks and 8 bags of popcorn. sofia spends a total of $33.25 on 3 drinks and 2 bags of popcorn. write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one drink and the price of one bag of popcorn. using these equations, determine and state the price of a bag of popcorn, to the nearest cent.

popcorn = $5.75 per bag

Step-by-step explanation:  

Set up the equation for each person.

Let x represent the cost of one drink and y represent the cost of one bag of popcorn.

           drinks    popcorn       Cost                     EQUATION

Naomi:      9            8            $111.25                9x + 8y = 111.25

Sofia:         3            2           $33.25                 3x + 2y = 33.25

Next, solve the system:

9x + 8y = 111.25   →    1(9x + 8y = 111.25)   →    9x + 8y = 111.25

3x + 2y = 33.25   →  -3(3x + 2y = 33.25)   → -9x  - 6y = -99.75

                                                                                2y =  11.50

                                                                                  y =  5.75
