Caroline and Ellie go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends.

Caroline spends a total of $141.75 on 14 drinks and 3 bags of popcorn.

Ellie spends a total of $84.00 on 7 drinks and 9 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 drink, to the nearest cent.

  14 d3 b141.75 $

2* (7d9 b84$   )

14 d18 b168 $

14 d3  b141.75 $

/(18-3)b168-141.75=26.25 $

                      15 b= 26.25$

 one bag of popcorn= 26.25/15=1.75 $

7 d9b=9*1.75=15.75 $84  $

7d+15.75$=84$

7d=84-15.75=68.25

one drink costs = 68.25/7=9.75≅9.8 $

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be d

straight away you can eliminate a and c because not all books contain a scientific skill because some may be fiction. c is also wrong because it saids that the only way children can learn is through books which is incorrect.

b is also wrong because reading can be a scientific skill but not always, therefore it is wrong which leaves you with d, the correct answer since it said that it can children learn.
