Five friends attend a matinee movie and spend $8 per ticket. they also purchase a small bag of popcorn each. if the friends spend a total of $62.50, how much does each small bag of popcorn cost?

Step-by-step explanation:

Ticket cost $8

Five friend pays = 5×$8 = $40

The ticket for 5 cost $40

Let popcorn cost x

For five friends = x × 5 = $5x

Total money spent = $62.50

40 + 5x = 62.50

5x = 62.50 - 40

5x = 22.50

x = 22.50/5

x = $4.50

Small popcorn cost $4.50 each
