Question

"At an ice cream shop, customers pay $3.00 for a medium ice cream plus $0.75 per topping. At a second ice cream shop, customers pay $5.25 for a medium ice cream plus $0.25 per topping. How many toppings would a customer have to order for the ice cream to cost the same at either shop?"

Answer 1

Answer:hope this helps

0.75x + 3 = 0.25x + 5.25

Constants are $3 and $5.25 respectively

Topping costs $0.75 and $0.25 respectively

To have same cost the toppings number would be different as cost is different.

Suppose the number of toppings is x in one shop and y in the other, then the spending if same, we get this equation:

0.75x + 3 = 0.25y + 5.25

Constants are $3 and $5.25 respectively
