To figure out which combinations of snacks Rashad could purchase, we need to determine how much money each combination would cost and see if it is less than or equal to the amount Rashad has left over ($17).
Let's calculate the cost of each combination:
A. 2 drinks and 3 popcorns:
Cost of 2 drinks = 2 * $2.75 = $5.50
Cost of 3 popcorns = 3 * $4.00 = $12.00
Total cost = $5.50 + $12.00 = $17.50
B. 3 popcorns and 3 candies:
Cost of 3 popcorns = 3 * $4.00 = $12.00
Cost of 3 candies = 3 * $1.50 = $4.50
Total cost = $12.00 + $4.50 = $16.50
C. 4 popcorns and 1 candy:
Cost of 4 popcorns = 4 * $4.00 = $16.00
Cost of 1 candy = 1 * $1.50 = $1.50
Total cost = $16.00 + $1.50 = $17.50
D. 4 drinks and 2 popcorns:
Cost of 4 drinks = 4 * $2.75 = $11.00
Cost of 2 popcorns = 2 * $4.00 = $8.00
Total cost = $11.00 + $8.00 = $19.00
Now, let's analyze the total cost of each combination:
A. The total cost is $17.50, which is greater than the amount Rashad has left over ($17). So this combination is not possible.
B. The total cost is $16.50, which is less than the amount Rashad has left over ($17). So this combination is possible.
C. The total cost is $17.50, which is equal to the amount Rashad has left over ($17). So this combination is possible.
D. The total cost is $19.00, which is greater than the amount Rashad has left over ($17). So this combination is not possible.
Therefore, the possible combinations of snacks that Rashad could purchase are B. 3 popcorns and 3 candies, and C. 4 popcorns and 1 candy.
