Question

The tasty swirl sells ice cream for $4 dollars a bowl for the first bowl, and $2 for each bowl after that.

Can you determine the cost when a family buys 1,2,3 and 4 bowls of ice cream at each place.

Answer 1

4, 6, 8, 10

Explanation:

If a family buys 1 bowl, the cost is $4.

If a family buys 1 bowl followed by a second, the cost is 4 + 2 = $6.

If a family buys 1, 2 and then a third bowl, the cost is 4 + 2 + 2 = $8.

If a family buys 1,2,3 and a fourth bowl, the cost is 4+2+2+2 = $10.
