Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

samuel---> 1pc+3dr=36.75

sebastian--->3pc+12dr=138

1pc+4dr=46

1pc+4dr=46

1pc+3dr=36.75

so 1 dr=46-36.75=$9.25

4dr is 9.25×4=37

so 1 pc=46-37=$9.00

Answer:

$9.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of popcorn: x

Cost of drink: y

x + 3y = 36.75

x = 36.75 - 3y

3x + 12y = 138

x + 4y = 46

36.75 - 3y + 4y = 46

y = 46 - 36.75

y = 9.25
