At a local movie theatre, sodas cost $1..50 and bags of popcorn $4.50. Kirk goes to the movies with all of his friends. Kirk pays for all of their sodas and popcorn. It comes out to a total of $36. He pays for a total of $16 items. How many sodas, s, and how many bags of popcorn, p, does he buy?

He buys 12 sodas and 4 bags of popcorn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,  s represents the number of sodas and p represents the number of bags of popcorn bought.

Price of each soda = $ 1.50,

And, price of each bag of popcorn = $ 4.50,

So, the total spending = 1.50s + 4.50p   ( ∵ Total price = price of each unit × number of units )

According to the question,

1.50s + 4.50p = 36         (1)

While, total items = s + p

Again, according to the question,

s + p = 16                         (2)

Equation (1) - 1.50 × equation (2),

We get,

4.50p - 1.50p = 36 - 1.5 × 16

                  3p = 36 - 24

                  3p = 12

                   p  = 4

From equation (2),

s + 4 = 16

     s = 16 - 4

     s = 12

Hence, he buys 12 sodas and 4 bags of popcorn.

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
