Answer:
• The number of soft-serve ice cream cones ordered = 43
,• The number of hard-pack ice cream cones ordered =44
Explanation:
The number of ice-cream cones ordered = 87
• Let the numbers of soft-serve ice cream cones ordered at $1.25 each = x
,• Thus, the number of hard-pack ice cream cones ordered at $1.00 each = 87-x
[tex]\text{Total cost}=1.25x+1(87-x)[/tex]Since the total bill was $97.75:
[tex]1.25x+1(87-x)=97.75[/tex]We solve for x.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1.25x-x=97.75-87 \\ 0.25x=10.75 \\ x=\frac{10.75}{0.25} \\ x=43 \end{gathered}[/tex]• The number of soft-serve ice cream cones ordered = 43
,• The number of hard-pack ice cream cones ordered = 87-43 =44
