Given the statement:
An ice cream store charges 75 cents for each scoop of ice cream and 25 cents for each cone.
Determine how many scoops would be in one ice cream cone if it cost a total of $4.
Solution:
In order to determine the number of scoops, we simply needed to subtract first .25 to 4 then divide the difference by 75.
= 4 - .25
= 3.75
= 3.75 / .75
= 5
Final answer:
5 scoops
