Answer provided by our tutors
let
s = the number of calories in one scoop of ice-cream
c = the number of calories in one sugar cone
One scoop of ice cream is 5 times as many calories as a sugar cone
s = 5c
Ken bought a sugar cone with two scoop of ice cream and two scoops and cone together had 495 calories
2s + c = 495
by solving the system of equations
s = 5c
2s + c = 495
we find
c = 45 calories
s = 225 calories
