Answer 1

To determine the cost for purchasing 3 orders of popcorn and 3 drinks when the movie is half over, we first need to find the half price of the popcorn.

1. Calculate the half price of popcorn:

   • Full price of popcorn = $3.50
   • Half price of popcorn = $3.50 / 2 = $1.75

2. Calculate the total cost for popcorn:

   • Cost for 3 orders of popcorn = 3 * $1.75 = $5.25

3. Calculate the total cost for drinks:

   • Full price of drinks = $1.35
   • Cost for 3 drinks = 3 * $1.35 = $4.05

4. Calculate the total cost for both:

   • Total cost = Cost for popcorn + Cost for drinks
   • Total cost = $5.25 + $4.05 = $9.30

Thus, the total cost for purchasing 3 orders of popcorn and 3 drinks when the movie is half over is 9.30.

The answer you need to enter is: 9.30
