Question

At an ice cream store, one family bought four ice cream cones and three sundaes for $14. Another family bought six cones and two sundaes for $14.75. Which system of equations represents the finding of the cost of one sundae and one ice cream cone?

Answer 1

4c + 3s = 14
6c + 2s = 14.75
Create a formula for each situation. c represents cones, s represents sundaes, the constant at the end represents the price. Solve using graphing, substitution, or elimination to find the price of each.
