Question

Ronnie bought 6 ice cream cones for himself and his friends. Seventeen cents tax was added to the price of each cone. The total cost was $14.58.

What was the price of a cone before tax?

Answer 1

Answer:$2.26

Explanation:

Answer 2

Each ice cream cone cost $2.26 before tax. If it is 17 cents tax for each cone and there are 6 cones, you multiply the tax with the number of cones, $1.02. Then you subtract that from the total cost to take away tax, $13.56. Lastly, you divide the price without tax by the number of ice cream cones so you know how much each one costs, $2.26, and there you go!
