Answer:
I can solve for 16, but I'm too tired (read: lazy) to do 17 at the moment. Hope this helps some at least...
Explanation:
16:
A. x + y = 230.
x= single scoop cones, y= double scoop cones.
In the word problem, we are told that they sold 230 cones in one day. Thus, you get 230= x+y.
With 2x+2.5y=498 this represents the price of the cones plus how much they earned.
$2+$2.50=$498.
B . I already kinda answered this up above, but x= the single scoop cones, and y = the double scoop cones.
C. y= -0.8x + 199.2
D. not too sure what they're asking for here (maybe I'm just too tired right now and therefore my last two brain cells are giving out-- it's 12 am where I am rn), but I'll try my best in the way I interpreted the question.
So, this may be wrong! BUT here we go--
The collective sales from 230 cones is precisely $498.
