for a school fundraiser troy sold 28 bags of popcorn and 40 candy bars and made 282. jake sold 17 bags of popcorn and 20 candy bars and made 160.50. what was the cost of a bag of popcorn

$6.50 per bag of popcorn

Step-by-step explanation:

let a bag of popcorn be represented by p and a candy bar be b

28p + 40b = $282

17p + 20b = $160.50

this is an example of simultaneous equations

so you have to double the second equation to give 34p + 40b = $321

subtract the equations to give one -- >  6p = $39

divide $39 by 6 to give the value of one bag of popcorn = $6.50

i think it would be 42cm

idk
