Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of 1 scoop of ice cream. Since the cost of 2 scoops of ice cream are twice the price of 1 scoop of ice cream, therefore the cost of 2 scoops of ice cream = 2x

Jean buys 4 tubs with 2 scoops in them and 2 tubs with 1 scoop each. Therefore the money spent by Jean is:

Money spent by Jean = 4(2x) + 2(x) = 8x + 2x = 10x

Sarah buys 2 tubs of 2 scoops and 4 tubs of 1 scoop. The money spent by Sarah is:

Money spent by Sarah = 2(2x) + 4(x) = 4x + 4x = 8x

Sarah spends 2.50 € less than Jean. Therefore:

Money spent by Sarah = Money spent by Jean - 2.5

8x = 10x - 2.5

2x = 2.5

x = €1.25

Therefore the cost of 1 scoop of ice cream is €1.25, the cost of 2 scoops of ice cream is €2.50.

Money spent by Jean = 10x = 10(1.25) = €12.5

Money spent by Sarah = 8x = 8(1.25) = €10
