Question

An ice cream shoppe charges $1.19 for a scoop of ice cream and $0.49 for each topping. Jeb paid $4.55 for a three scoop sundae. How many toppings did he get?
For this problem, I need the steps on how to do this. Thank you!

Answer 1

He bought 3 scoops, each costing $1.19
The cost of the three scoops= 3*1.19= $3.57

Total cost of scoops and toppings is $4.55
Cost of toppings only= 4.55-3.57= $0.98
Each topping costs $0.49

Therefore number of toppings bought= 0.98/0.49= 2

Answer: 2 toppings
