Question

An ice cream store sells ice cream in a cup or in a cone. It sells 7 cones for every 3 cups of ice cream it sells. If 220 people buy ice cream at the store today, how may cones would the store sell?

Answer 1

3cups+7cones=10 altogether
22x10= 220 customers
22x7=154
3x22=66
So 154 cones

Answer 2

I m not sure of my answer but i think its correct...


7 cones/ 3 cups of ice cream.

The nearest multiple of 3 to 220 is 219

one cone per cup = 7/3 ( 7 cones for 3 cups )

Total no of cups sold = 219* One cone per cup
= 219* 7/3
= 511 cones

Therefore, the number of cones the store would sell is 511 cones.
