To calculate how much you would save purchasing from Perfect Picture Popcorn compared to Fantastic Flicks, we need to find the total cost for each company when buying 3 bags of popcorn.

For Fantastic Flicks popcorn, 2 bags cost $21.00. Therefore, 3 bags of popcorn would cost:
3/2 * $21.00 = $31.50

Now, using the equation y = 9.95x, we can find the total cost for Perfect Picture Popcorn when buying 3 bags of popcorn:
y = 9.95 * 3
y = $29.85

To determine the constant of proportionality (unit rate) per order of popcorn for each company, we need to divide the total cost by the number of bags:
Fantastic Flicks: $21.00 / 2 = $10.50 per bag
Perfect Picture Popcorn: $29.85 / 3 = $9.95 per bag

Therefore, by purchasing from Perfect Picture Popcorn instead of Fantastic Flicks, you would save $31.50 - $29.85 = $1.65.
