Divide 150 by 30 to get 3.50 then you have your answer for one cup. Then multiply 3.50 by 18 to get your answer for 18 cups

Hey there! :)

Answer:

Price per cup: $3.5

Price for 18 cups: $63.

Explanation:

To find the cost of a single cup of ice cream, we can set up an equation where 'x' equals the price of a cup of ice cream.

30x = 105

Divide both sides by 30:

x = $3.5.

To find the cost of 18 cups, simply multiply this price by 18:

18 × 3.5 = $63 dollars. This is the price for 18 cups of ice cream.
