Question

One bucket of popcorn and two sodas cost $13. The popcorn was $7.

What is the price per soda?

$6
$10
$3
$13

Answer 1

Let's break down the information given:

The total cost of one bucket of popcorn and two sodas is $13. We know that the popcorn costs $7.

Now, we can set up the equation:

Cost of popcorn + Cost of sodas = Total cost

Let's denote the cost of each soda as \( S \). Therefore, the equation becomes:

\[ 7 + 2S = 13 \]

Now, subtract 7 from both sides:

\[ 2S = 13 - 7 \]
\[ 2S = 6 \]

Now, divide by 2 to find the cost of one soda:

\[ S = \frac{6}{2} \]
\[ S = 3 \]

So the price per soda is **$3**.
