Answer:

4x + 2.5y = 184

x = y - 6

Explanation:

Let the number of smoothies sold by stand = x

And number of cones sold = y

If the selling price of each cone = $2.5

Selling price of the 'y' cones = $2.5y

Selling price of each smoothies = $4

Then sales of smoothies = $4x

If the total sales of one day = $184

Equation for this situation will be,

4x + 2.5y = 184 -------(1)

If the stand sold 6 less smoothies than the cones,

x = y - 6 -----(2)

Therefore, system of equations contains two equations (1) and (2).
