The seller sold 120 single-scoop cones and 130 double-scoop cones to make $565.
250 cones were used while selling yogurt and made $565.
There are two types of cones:
Single-scoop cone that cost $2.
Double-scoop cone that cost $2.50.
We need to know how many cones of each type were used while selling yogurt that made $565.
We will have to make two linear equations using the given statements and apply the substitution method to get our answer.
Consider,
x = single-scoop cone.
y = double-scoop cone.
Now, we can make two linear equations:
x + y = 250............(A)
2x + 2.50y = 565...............(B)
Apply substitution method.
From (A) we get,
x = 250 - y...............(C)
And putting x = 250 - y in (B) we get,
2 ( 250 - y ) + 2.50y = 565
500 - 2y + 2.50y = 565
0.50y = 565 - 500
0.50y = 65
y = 65 / 0.50
y = 6500 / 50
y = 130
Putting y = 50 in (C) we get,
x = 250 - 130
x = 120
We have,
x = 120 and y = 130
We see that we need 120 single-scoop cones and 130 double-scoop cones to make $565.
