Problem:
500 units sold
Single scoop = $1.75
Double scoop = $2.25
Total = $930
1.75x + 2.25(500-x) = 930
1.75x+1125-2.25x=930
Rearrange the equation
-0.50x=-195
0.50x=195
X=390
This means that 390 units of single scoops were sold leaving 110 units of double scoops
Check:
$1.75*(390) + $2.25*(500-390) = $930
$682.5+$247.5 = $930
$930 = $930 Checks
