Question

Ice cream cones cost $1.10 and sundaes cost $2.35. One day, the receipts for a total of 172 cones and sundaes were $294.20. How many cones were sold.

Answer 1

Answer:88

Explanation:

1.10c+2.35s=294.20

C+S=172

1.10c+2.35s=294.20 if you multiply by 100.

110c+235s=29420

-110 (cones + sundaes =172)

-110c-110s=-18920

125s/125=10500/125

S= 84

C+84=172

-84. -84

C= 88
