Solution

The correct option is B 80 cans of pop, 120 bags of popcorn
Let us assume no of cans of pop sold =x
no of bags of pop sold=200-x
So, as per question,
0.50x+0.75(200x)=130
0.50x+1500.75x=130
0.25x=20
x=80
So, no of bags of pop sold=200-x=200-80=120
Answer (B) 80 cans of pop, 120 bags of popcorn
