Answer 1

Part A) $9.96

Part B) $7.47

Explanation:

Given:

If 2 Ice cream = $4.98

Step:

Then Let's find how much is 1 Ice cream.

To find the cost of 1 Ice cream divide the $4.98 by 2

which gives you 2.49

Now:

Part A) How much will 4 pints of ice cream cost?

2.49 x 4 = $9.96

Hence, 4 pints of ice cream cost → $9.96

Part B) How much will 3 pints of ice cream cost?

2.49 x 3 = $7.47

Hence, 3 pints of ice cream cost → $7.47
