Answer:
Chocolate cones = x = 167 cones
Vanilla cones = y = 334 cones
Explanation:
Let
The number of Chocolate cones = x
Vanilla cones = y
Ike's igloo sold 501 ice cream cones today.
x + y = 501.... Equation 1
They sold half as many chocolate ice cream cone as vanilla ones.
x = 1/2y
x = y/2
Cross multiply
y = 2x
We substitute 2x for y in Equation 1
x + 2x = 501
3x = 501
x = 501/3
x = 167
Solving for y
y = 2x
y = 2 × 167
y = 334
Therefore,
The number of
Chocolate cones = x = 167 cones
Vanilla cones = y = 334 cones
