Shana spent a total of $26. Write a system of equations involving the number of sodas, s,and the bag of popcorn, b. Solve the system to see how many of each Shana bought.

Respuesta :

Equation : 3s + 4p = $26
Answer : 2 sodas and 5 bags of popcorn.
The equation would be 3s + 4p = $26. 3s is the $3 for every soda and 4p is $4 for every bag of popcorn.
Shana bought 2 sodas and 5 bags of popcorn. 3 x 2 is 6 and 5 x 4 is 20 which would equal $26. They also equal to the 7 things because of the 2 sodas and 5 bags.
