Algebra ->  Coordinate Systems and Linear Equations  -> Linear Equations and Systems Word Problems -> SOLUTION: Tony and some friends went to the movies they bought four drinks and two tubs of popcorn and spent a total of $32.50 on the food each drink cost $3.50 less than a tub of popcorn de      Log On

Let x = the cost of one tube of popcorn.


Then each drink costs (x-3.50) dollars, according to the condition.


The equation you are looking for is 


    4*(x-3.50) + 2x = 32.50.      ANSWER
