Question

A concession stand sold pizza slices, ice cream cones, and tacos at a basketball game. Pizza slices were sold for $2.75, ice cream cones were sold for $2.25, and tacos were sold for $1.75. The total number of pizza slices, ice cream cones, and tacos sold was 121, and the total amount of money from these items was $260.75. If $87.50 was made just from selling tacos, how many ice cream cones were sold?

Answer 1

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

What we already know:

Pizza slices $2.75 - Ice cream cones $2.25 - Tacos $1.75

Total Items sold - 121 / Total amount of money - $260.75/ $87.50 made from selling Tacos

____________________________________

Tacos - 87.5 ÷ 1.75 = 50 Tacos sold -- 121 - 50 = 71 items

& 260.75 - 87.5 = 173.25 left

____________________________________

You can't sell half an Ice-Cream

Ice Cream - 71 - 1 = 70 -- 70 ÷ 2 = 35 -- 35 × 2.25 =

$78.75 made from Ice-cream cones

35 Ice- cream cones sold

**************************************************

Pizza slices - 71 - 70 = 1 -- 1 + 35 =

36 Pizza slices sold

36 × 2.75 =

99 dollars made off of Pizza slices
