You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let +c+ = number of calories in the ice cream
+c+%2B+100+ = number of calories in the pie
------------------
+c+%2B+c+%2B+100+=+850+
+2c+=+750+
+c+=+375+
+c+%2B+100+=+475+
There are 375 calories in the ice cream
There are 475 calories in the pie
-----------------
check:
+375+%2B+475+=+850+
OK
