Question

The cost of a soft drink and a bucket of popcorn at the movie theatre is $9.10. The cost of 2 soft drinks and a bucket of popcorn together is $12.50. What is the cost of a bucket of popcorn?

Answer 1

Answer: $2. 85

$12.50 / 2 = $6.25

$9.10 - $6.25 = $2.85

Answer 2

$5.70. 12.50 - 9.10 is 3.40, so you subtract 3.40 from 9.10 to eliminate the cost of the drinks.
