1. 3 friends went to the movies. Each of them purchased a medium sized popcorn for p dollars & a small soft drink for s dollars. a. Write an expressions (using p & s) that represents the total amount of money (in dollars) the three friends spent at the concession stand.

b. If the concession stand charges $6.50 for a medium sized popcorn and $4.00 for a small soft drink, how much did the three friends spend on their refreshments altogether?

if you could show work please do or please explain step by step.

(p+s)*3

(6.50+4.00)*3= 31.5 dollars

1) so if they spent p and s for each person then you need to times it by 3 bc there were 3 people

eg: if popcorn was 1 dollar and a drink was 2 dollars then 1 +2 dollars= 3 and thats how much one person spent but because there are three ppl, we times by 3 to get 9 dollrs use the same method for questions number 1

2) and q2 is the same kinda strategy as i explained so, 6.50+4.00= 10.5 and bc there are 3 ppl then times by 3= 31.50 dollars

make sure to add a zero at the end bc we are talking about money

Hope this helps!! x
