Vocaloid · Answer

if the price of a drink = 1/2 price of popcorn then each drink is #2.50

using this information, calculate: the number of bags of popcorn you can buy with $30 if you ONLY buy popcorn (no drinks) and the number of drinks you can buy if you ONLY buy drinks (no popcorn)

mikewwe13 · Answer

if each bag of popcorn is 5.00 and each drink is half of that that means drinks are 2.50 The proper way to do that would have to look and see how much of each you can buy without exceeding a limit of 30.00
