Question

Hector serves ice cream at a local ice cream shop. He sells 19 ice cream cones on Saturday, 27 ice cream cones on Sunday, and 153 ice cream cones for the entire week. How many ice cream cones did Hector sell on the weekdays?

Answer 1

107

Explanation:

Total ice cream cones = weekdays + weekends

Weekend = saturday and sunday

= 19+27

=46

46 were sold on the weekend

153 sold total

153 = weekdays +46

Subtract 46 from each side

153 -46 = weekdays +46-46

107 = weekdays
