So here is what you know:
Scoop of ice cream is 5 times more calaries than a sugar cone. The cone has two scoops of ice cream and totals 495 calaries. So it would be...
5C + 5C + C = 495
11C = 495
C = 45
So the cone has 45 calories and each scoop of ice cream has 225 calories (45 x 5 = 225).
45 + 225 + 225 = 495 calories
