chocolate ice cream did the 'snack bar sell on
Monday?

Answer 1

600/11

Explanation:

scoops of

strawberry= x

chocolate= y

vanilla ice cream= z

X+y+z= 100

The snack bar sold 3 times as many scoops of chocolate as it did strawberry

3x= y

X= y/3

and 2 times as many scoops of

vanilla as it did chocolate

2z= y

Z= y/2

X+y+z= 100

Y/3 + y +y/2 = 100

2y + 6y + 3y = 600

11y= 600

Y= 600/11
