At a summertime poolside snack bar, 200 ice cream scoops were sold in one day. Double scoops were sold for $1.25 each and single

scoops were sold for $1 each. If the proceeds from the sale of the cones were $221.75, how many of each kinds of cone were sold? In all, how many scoops of ice cream were sold?

Answer:

a) 87 double scoops and 113 single scoops.

b) 287 scoops of ice cream.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You need to make a system of equations, where double scoops are represented by x and the single scoops are represented by y:

\left \{ {{x+y=200} \atop {1.25x+y=221.75}} \right.

2. You can apply the Elimination Method:

- Multiply the first equation by -1 to cancel the variable y from the system. Add both equations:

0.25x=21.75

- Solve for x:

x=\frac{21.75}{0.25}\\x=87

- Substitute the value of x into one of the original equations and solve for y:

87+y=200\\y=113

3. You can calculate the total number of scoops of ice cream that where sold as below:

2x+y

4. Substitute values:

2(87)+113=287 scoops of ice cream

Answer:  The number of single scoop cones sold is 113, number of double scoop cones is 87 and the total number of cones sold is 287.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that at a a summertime poolside snack bar, 200 ice cream scoops were sold in one day.

Double scoops were sold for $1.25 each and single scoops were sold for $1 each. The proceeds from the sale of the cones were $221.75.

We are to find the number of single scoop cones, double scoop cones and the number of scoops of ice cream that sold.

We Let x and y represents the number of cones of single scoop and double scoop ice cream that sold.

Then, according to the given information, we have

x+y=200\\\\\Rightarrow x=200-2y~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

and

1\times x+1.25y=221.75\\\\\Rightarrow x=221.75-1.25y~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Comparing equations (i) and (ii), we get

200-y=221.75-1.25y\\\\\Rightarrow 1.25y-y=221.75-200\\\\\Rightarrow 0.25y=21.75\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{21.75}{0.25}\\\\\Rightarrow y=87.

From equation (i), we get

x=200-87=113.

Therefore, total number of scoops that were sold is

113+2\times87=113+174=287.

Thus, the number of single scoop cones sold is 113, number of double scoop cones is 87 and the total number of cones sold is 287.

When asked to write the domain for the equation y= |x - 6| + 3, Mary wrote the Domain is y < 3. What mistake(s) did Mary make
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Ok, the domain is the set of values that we can input in a function.

In this case, we have:

y = Ix - 6I + 3.

Notice that there is no restriction here, x can actually take any value, then the domain will be the set of all real numbers.

The correct domain is x, x ∈ R

Now, if we had (for example) something like:

y = Ix - 6I < 3

Now we have a restriction in the domain because we can not have y equal or larger than 3.

To find the domain, we can break the absolute value:

Ix - 6I < 3

is equivalent to:

-3 < x - 6 < 3

now let's add 6 in each side.

-3 + 6 < x - 6 + 6 < 3 + 6

3 < x < 9

That will be the domain in that case.
