Answer 1

If 3 ice cream cones cost 8.25 how much do 2 ice cream cones cost?

1 cone cost

8.25 : 3 = 2.75

2 cones cost

2.75 * 2 = 5.5

or

(8.25 : 3) * 2 = 5.5

Answer 2

The cost of two ice cream cones will be 5.5 dollars.

Explanation:

Cost of three ice cream cones = $8.25

Cost of an ice cream cone =
`(\$8.25)/(3)=\$2.75`

So, cost of two ice cream cones will be :

`\$2.75* 2=\$5.5`

The cost of two ice cream cones will be 5.5 dollars.
