Answer:

One bucket of popcorn:  6$

One box of candy: $3.75

2 buckets of popcorn:  $12

3 boxes of candy:  $11.25

2 buckets of popcorn and 3 boxes of candy:  $23.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the cost of one bucket of popcorn and one box of candy using a system of equations

[tex]4P + 6C=46.50\\P + C =9.75[/tex]

We can use the elimination method and thus multiply the second equation by -4:  

[tex]4P + 6C = 46.50\\-4(P+C=9.75)\\\\4P + 6C = 46.50\\-4P -4C=-39\\\\2C = 7.5\\\\C = 3.75[/tex]

We can plug C into the second equation to find P:

[tex]P + 3.75 = 9.75\\P = 6[/tex]

Thus, the cost of two buckets of popcorn is 6 * 2 = $12

And the cost of three boxes of candy is 3.75 * 3 = $11.25

And the cost of both two buckets of popcorn and three boxes of candy is (6*2) + (3*3.75) = 12 + 11.25 = $23.25
