Answer 1

The number of cones sold was 88

Explanation:

Let

x------> the number of cones sold

y----> the number of sundaes sold

we know that

`1.10x+2.35y=294.20` ----> equation A

`x+y=172` ----> equation B

using a graphing tool

we know that

The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The intersection point is (88,84)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of cones sold was 88

The number of sundaes sold was 84
