Ben and Carson went to the movies with friends. Ben purchased 3 popcorn and 2 boxes of candy for $41. Carson purchased 1 popcorn and 2 boxes of candy for $29. How much did the popcorn cost?

$6

Step-by-step explanation:

B- 3P+2C=$41

C-1P+2C=$29

since they both bought at least 1 popcorn and 2 candy you can just subtract 29 from 41. you get 12 which equals the other 2 popcorns that ben bought

12/2=6

since you need to find the price of 1 popcorn you have to divide 12 by 2

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
