Some friends went to a local movie theatre and bought four buckets of popcorn and six boxes of candy. The total for the snacks was $46.50. The last time you were at the theatre you bought a large popcorn and a box of candy and the total was $9.75. How much would 2 large buckets of popcorn and 3 boxes of candy cost?
