Answer:
130 calories in the ice cream and 500 calories in the pie.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of calories in the scoop of ice cream be x. the amount of calories in the piece of pie be 3x-20. we know that x+3x-20=500.
4x-20=500
If we add twenty to both sides, we end up with:
4x=520
Divide both sides by four, and you get x=130.
there are 130 calories in the scoop of ice cream and 130*4-20=500 calories in the pie.
Since it would be 60% of the original price which is 500 it would have be $300
Zack would receive $200. You have to make 60% as a decimal= 0.60 then multiply $500*0.60= $300 then you subtract $500-$300=$200
(Hope this works!!)
