It’s that time again, time for Autumn to host a huge Autumn Madness party. For last year’s party she spent $60 on sodas and she bought 50 pounds of bananas. This year she plans to buy only half as many sodas. The price of soda this year is 20% more than it was last year. She also decided she needs three times as many bananas as last year, because the “pretend your banana is a phone and walk around the mall for 30 minutes” prank was so successful last year. Unfortunately, the price of bananas is 75% more than the $.48 per-pound price she paid last year. How much will she have to spend on soda and bananas?
