Period 5 is gearing up for a class ice cream party. Meghan plans to arrange the party and understands that ice cream cones cost $1.10 and sundaes cost $2.35. On the day of the party the receipt shows a total of 172 cones and sundaes were $294.20. How many cones were sold?

88 cones.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

price of a cone = $1.10

price of a sundae = $2.35

A total of 172 cones and sundaes were sold for $294.20

Then we can define two variables:

C = number of cones sold

S = number of sundaes sold.

C + S = 172 (the total number of sundaes and cones sold is 172)

C*$1.10 + S*$2.35 = $294.20  (that is how much the won).

Then we have the system of equations:

C + S = 172

C*$1.10 + S*$2.35 = $294.20

And we want to find how many cones were sold.

To solve this, we first need to isolate the other variable, S, in one of the equations, i will isolate S in the first equation:

S = 172 - C

Now, let's replace this in the second equation:

C*$1.10 + (172 - C)*$2.35 = $294.20

Now we can solve this for C, and find the number of cones that were sold.

C*$1.10 + $404.20 - C*$2.35 = $294.20

C*($1.10 - $2.35) = $294.20 - $404.20

-C*1.25 = -110

C = 110/1.25 = 88

88 cones were sold.

-22

times both sides by 2, times () by 8, add alile terms, move terms, add alike and caculate divide both sides by 3

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
