Mike went to a football game with his family they bought five boxes of popcorn and three programs and spent $41 Shawns family went to the same game bought three boxes of popcorn and two programs and spent $26 how much does each program cost at the game
Given:
5 c + 3 p = 41 c = corn p = program and
3 c + 2 p = 26 multiply this equation by - 1.5 to get
-4.5 c -3p = -39 and add to the first eq to get
.5 c = 2
c = $ 4
then use this value of ' c' , substitute into one of the equations to find 'p' the program cost
