Answer:

Number of Cones Sold=88

Number of Sundaes Sold=84

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose

Number of Cones Sold: c

Number of Sundaes Sold: s

For the condition of 172 sum of cones and sundaes

[tex]c+s=172...........................................(i)[/tex]

and for the total bill for the ice creams' condition

[tex]1.1*c+2.35*s=294.2.......................(ii)[/tex]

By solving equation (i) and (ii) simultaneously, we get

c=88 and s=84

Hence, 88 cones would be sold and 84 sundaes.
