Question 1013153: So this ice cream shop charges ice-cream by what your putting it in. The cups are 0.60 and the cones are 1.12. One day they made 287.50 dollars. How many cups and cones were sold that day all together?
Do you add 0.60 and 1.12 and then divide 287.50 by that number? Because it gives you a decimal and I don't know if it's okay to round

Why?
This is another similar two-variable linear equation application exercise, but How many cups AND cones? You need more information. Account for the money and ~~account for the number of ice-cream items sold~~.
.

x for how many cups of ice-cream
y for how many cones of ice-cream

The money:

That is all you can do other than re-stating using rational coefficients. You can simplify this equation and maybe graph the line to see all the possible combinations (WHOLE NUMBERS) for x and y, but the equation could have more than one pair of whole-valued x & y combinations.
