Question: 203

9. Large ice cream cones cost twice as much as small ones. Linda bought 3 large cones and 3 small cones for $13.50. How much does a small cone cost?

  • A. $0.75
  • B. $1.00
  • C. $1.25
  • D. $1.50

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D is correct. Let x = cost of small cone. 2x = cost of large cone.

3 small cones + 3 large cones = $13.50

3x + 3(2x) = $13.50

3x + 6x = $13.50

9x = $13.50

x = $1.50
