Answer:

13,846\ cones

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of ice cream cones sold 5 years ago

Remember that

100\%+30\%=130\%=130/100=1.3

we know that

Sales 5 years ago, multiplied by the 30% increase should equal 18,000 ice cream cones.

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

1.30x=18,000

Solve for x

Divide by 1.3 both sides

x=13,846\ cones

y = 35 + 2.5x
y = 2.5x + 35
