Question 1024395: Hi there, I have a problem I need to solve but I am unable to figure it out. If you guys could help, that would be great! Here is the problem:

Sansa and Ygritte go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends.
Sansa spends a total of $98.50 on 4 bags of popcorn and 10 drinks.
Ygritte spends a total of $71.25 on 10 bags of popcorn and 5 drinks.
Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink.
Using these equations, determine and state the price of a drink, to the nearest cent.
Thank you!

Sansa and Ygritte go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends.
Sansa spends a total of $98.50 on 4 bags of popcorn and 10 drinks.
Ygritte spends a total of $71.25 on 10 bags of popcorn and 5 drinks.
-------------
4p + 10d = 9850
10p+ 5d = 7125
