Jacob and Zachary go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Jacob spends a total of $18.25 on two bags of popcorn and three drinks. Zachary spends a total of $27.50 for four bags of popcorn and two drinks. Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink. Using these equations, determine and state the price of a bag of popcorn and the price of a drink, to the nearest cent. Define your variables: p = cost of 1 popcorn, d = cost of 1 drink Write an equation for each purchase: 2p + 3d = 18.25 4p + 2d = 27.50.
