Question

If 5 ice creams cones cost 20 dollars, how much would 10 ice creams cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of 10 ice-cream cones is 40 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have given that the cost of 5 ice-creams cone is 20 dollars. So, finding the cost of 1 ice-cream cone.

$:\implies{\tt{Cost \: of \: 1 = 20 \div 5}}$

$:\implies{\tt{Cost \: of \: 1 = \dfrac{20}{5}}}$

$:\implies{\tt{Cost \: of \: 1 = \cancel{\dfrac{20}{5}}}}$

$:\implies{\tt{Cost \: of \: 1 = \ 4}}$

Hence, the cost of 1 ice-cream cone is 4 dollars.

Now, we know the cost of 1 ice-cream cone. Thus, finding the cost of 10 ice-cream cones.

$:\implies{\tt{Cost \: of \: 1 = \ 4}}$

$:\implies{\tt{Cost \: of \: 10 = 4 \times 10}}$

$:\implies{\tt{Cost \: of \: 10 = \ 40}}$

Hence, the cost of 10 ice-cream cones is 40 dollars.
