You can put this solution on YOUR website!
S=soft serve H=hard-pack
S+H=90
1.25S+1.00H=99.25
Solved by pluggable solver: Linear System solver (using determinant)
Solve:
+system%28+%0D%0A++++1%5CS+%2B+1%5CH+=+90%2C%0D%0A++++1.25%5CS+%2B+1%5CH+=+99.25+%29%0D%0A++

Any system of equations:


has solution

or



(S=37, H=53}

So there were 37 soft serve and 53 hard-pack sold. (37+53)=90 Total cones.
