Q. Caleb has a summer job working at an ice-cream stand. Customers can order a cone with a single scoop or a double scoop of ice cream. One morning, Caleb sold 3030 single scoops and 2020 double scoops for $167.50\$167.50. That afternoon, he sold 3535 single scoops and 2525 double scoops for $202.50\$202.50. What is the price of a double scoop? $\$____ How much money did Caleb bring in from selling double scoops that day? $\$____
  1. Calculate morning scoops and revenue: Calculate the total number of scoops sold in the morning and the revenue per scoop.\newlineMorning: 3030 single + 2020 double = 5050 scoops for $167.50\$167.50.\newline$167.50/50=$3.35\$167.50 / 50 = \$3.35 per scoop.
  2. Calculate afternoon scoops and revenue: Calculate the total number of scoops sold in the afternoon and the revenue per scoop.\newlineAfternoon: 3535 single + 2525 double = 6060 scoops for $202.50\$202.50.\newline$202.50/60=$3.375\$202.50 / 60 = \$3.375 per scoop.
