Popcorn in movie theaters was rarely offered (because it had to be trucked in precooked, instead of running the risk of starting a fire in those early days). It did not catch on until the 1940's, and mostly in the 1950's.
Had popcorn been sold in 1930, it would have cost about 19 cents, whereas the movie ticket was 25 cents. In 2010, inflation makes the pop corn $3.00 and the movie ticket $4.20.
We can see that popcorn has stayed within the bounds of inflation, but movie tickets are not $4.20. Tickets are usually double or triple that amount.
So you can enjoy popcorn at a decent price, but the movie tickets are close to a rip off.

Julia went to the movies and bought one jumbo popcorn and two chocolate chip cookies for 5.00 Marvin went to the same movie and bought one jumbo popcorn and four chocolate chip cookies for 6.00 Ho?
If you mean this as a math problem, first find the price of popcorn in terms of cookies: for Julia, popcorn=$5-(2*price of cookies) for Marvin, popcorn=$6-(4*price of cookies) Then set the equations equal to each other and solve for the price of cookies: $5-(2*price of cookies)=$6-(4*price of cookies) -2poc+4poc=$6-$5 2poc=$1 poc=$.50 Then enter the price of cookies into the popcorn equation to solve for the price of popcorn: popcorn=$5-(2*$.50)=$4 Therefore, the price of popcorn is $4 while the cookies cost $.50
