Answer:

4 scoops of ice cream

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the total cost, number of scoops of nuts, and number of liquid toppings into the formula. Then, solve for s:

C = 0.50s + 0.35n + 0.25t

3.55 = 0.50s + 0.35(3) + 0.25(2)

3.55 = 0.50s + 1.05 + 0.5

3.55 = 0.50s + 1.55

2 = 0.50s

4 = s

So, the sundae had 4 scoops of ice cream.
