An ice cream store sells ice cream in a cup or in a cone. It sells 7 cones for every 3 cups of ice cream it sells. If 220 people buy ice cream at the store today, how may cones would the store sell?

3cups+7cones=10 altogether

22x10 = 220 customers

22x7=154

3x22=66

So 154 cones

I m not sure of my answer but i think its correct ...

7 cones / 3 cups of ice cream.

The nearest multiple of 3 to 220 is 219

one cone per cup = 7/3 (7 cones for 3 cups)

T otal no of cups sold = 219 * One cone per cup

= 219 * 7/3

= 511 cones

Therefore, the number of cones the store would sell is 511 cones.
