Problema Solution

In one day, the number of chocolate cones sold was 1 more than 4 times the number of vanilla cones sold. A total of 121 cones were sold that day.

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent the number of vanilla cones sold, then '4x+1' represents the number of chocolate cones sold


121 = x + 4x+1

120 = 5x

x = 120/5 = 24


24*4 + 1 = 97


there were 24 vanilla cones and 97 chocolate cones sold
