Something is wrong here. Are you sure you mean a total of $4.25?

anonymous · Answer

oh i meant 40.25

anonymous · Answer

so how do you do it

anonymous · Answer

Well,
2 Adults @ $8.50 = $17.00
3 Children @ $5.50 = $16.50
$17.00 + $16.50 = $33.50
$40.25 - $33.50 = $6.75 for all boxes of popcorn
So each box costed $6.75/3=$2.25.
