At an ice cream shop, Roy orders 3 scoops of ice cream and 1 topping for $3.95. Pete orders 2 scoops and 2 toppings for $3.10. What is the cost per scoop and per topping?a. $0.35 per scoop and $1.20 per topping/ b. $1.20 per scoop and $0.35 per topping/ c. $3.10 per scoop and $0.85 per topping/ d. $2.25 per scoop and $0.85 per topping

Respuesta :

The price for 1 scoop of ice cream and the price for 1 topping is $1.20 and $0.35 respectively.  

Suppose the price for 1 scoop of ice cream = x

The price for 1 topping = y

What is a linear equation?

An equation of the form ax+by+c=0 is called a linear equation where a, b and c are real numbers.

According to the question

3x+y=3.95.......(1)

2x+2y=3.10.......(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2 on both sides

6x+2y=7.90.....(3)

Subtracting the equation (2) from equation(3)

4x=4.80

x=1.20

So, y = 0.35

So, the price for 1 scoop of ice cream =$1.20

The price for 1 topping = $0.35

Hence, the price for 1 scoop of ice cream and price for 1 topping is $1.20 and $0.35 respectively.
