Question

An ice cream store charges 75 cents for each scoop of ice cream and 25 cents for each cone. How many scoops would be in one ice cream cone if it cost a total of $4?

Answer 1

0.25 +0.75x = 4
0.75x = 4 - 0.25
0.75x = 3.75
x =3.75/0.75
x = 5

answer: In one ice cream cost $4, there will be 5 scoops .

double check:

5(0.75) = 3.75 (amount pay for scoops)
            + 0.25 (one cone)
  ------------------
                $4.00 total cost

Answer 2

There will be 4 scoops of ice cream
