22. Myra took her 5 children out for ice cream. Each child ordered a single scoop of ice cream on a cone. The clerk added $0.87 to Myra's bill for sales tax. Myra paid a total of $15.37. If each cone cost the same amount, what was the cost of one cone? A. $2.82 B. $2.90 C. $3.07 D. $3.25 and -

Answer 1

We have

total - tax = 15.37-0.87=14.5

If each ice- cream has the same price

14.5/5= 2.90

the cost of one cone is $2.90
