Problem

At the movie theater, three candy bars and two sodas costs $\$ 14.00$. Four candy bars and three sodas costs $\$ 19.50$. Find the cost of a soda.

Solution

Step 1 :Let's represent the cost of a candy bar as 'c' and the cost of a soda as 's'.

Step 2 :From the problem, we can form two equations: \(3c + 2s = 14.00\) and \(4c + 3s = 19.50\).

Step 3 :We can solve this system of equations to find the cost of a soda.

Step 4 :The solution to the system of equations is \(c = 3.00\) and \(s = 2.50\).

Step 5 :So, the cost of a soda is \(\boxed{2.50}\).
