An ice cream store with 12 different flavors sells one and two-scoop ice cream cones. A boy sitting outside the store counted 11 people with ice cream cones and a total of 15 scoops of ice cream. How many one scoop cones were sold?

Let the number of one scoop ice cream sold = x

Let the number of two-scoop ice cream sold = y

A total of 15 scoops of ice cream were sold, therefore:


x+y=15
