The number of sodas and popcorn Kirk bought is 4 and 12 respectively.

let

  • Number of sodas bought = x

  • Number of popcorn bought = 3x

  • Cost of soda = 4.50

  • cost of popcorn = 1.50

  • Total cost = 36

How to solve equation

(4.50×x) + (1.50×3x) = 36

4.50x + 4.50x = 36

9x = 36

x = 36/9

x = 4

Therefore, the number of sodas bought,x is 4 and the number of popcorn bought, 3x = 3 × 4 = 12
