asked 01/01/19Yesterday, a movie theater sold 302 bags of popcorn. A large bag of popcorn costs
$3. A small bag of popcorn costs $1. In all, the movie theater made $500 from popcorn sales. Write and solve a system of equations to find how many bags of each size of popcorn were sold?
Can someone please explain!.
