At a store, ice cream cones cost $1.80 and sundaes cost $3.30. One day the receipts for a total of 148 cones and sundaes were $360.90. How many cones were sold? How many sundaes?

Respuesta :

X= cones; y= sundaes

1.80x + 3.30y = 360.90 -------(i)

x + y = 148 -----------(ii)

from (ii) y= 148-x

1.80x + 3.30(148-x) = 360.9

1.80x + 488.4 + 3.30x = 360.9

1.5x = 127.5

x  = 85 cones
