Large popcorn is $10.17 and a drink cost $x the cost of the popcorn and drink together is $14.23 complete in South the equation that represents the cost of a drink

Answer 1

Let's assume the cost of the drink is y.
The cost of the popcorn is $10.17.
The cost of the drink is x times the cost of the popcorn, so it is x * $10.17.
The total cost of the popcorn and drink together is $14.23, so we can write the equation as follows:

$10.17 + y = $14.23

Now we can substitute the value of y (which is x * $10.17) into the equation:

$10.17 + x * $10.17 = $14.23

Simplifying the equation:

$10.17(1 + x) = $14.23

This is the equation that represents the cost of a drink.
