Question 168631: a busload of campers stopped at a diary satnd for ice cream. they ordered 77 cones, some soft serve at $2.00 each and the rest hard pack at $0.75 each. if the toal bill was 119.00, how many of each type of cone were order? Answer by Mathtut(3670) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! lets call the number of soft serve s
and the number of hard pack h
s+h=77........eq 1
2s+.75h=119...eq 2
:
solver for s in eq 1 and substitute its value into eq 2.
:
s=77-h
:
2(77-h)+.75h=119
154-2h+.75h=119
1.25h=35
number of hard pack cones number of soft serve cones
