Question

Miranda is selling ice cream at the park to help raise money for the animal shelter. The amount of money she raises for the shelter (y) is proportional to the number of ice cream cones (x) she sells. If Miranda wants to raise $250 for the shelter, how many ice cream cones would she need to sell?

Answer 1

Answer:

The question is lacking the detail of the price of the ice cream cones.

Assuming the ice cream cones cost $2 each then she would have to sell;

= 250/2

= 125 ice cream cones

If she sells 125 ice cream cones, she will be able to raise $250 if the cones are sold at $2 each.
