An ice Green stand uses that expression 2 + 0.5x to determine the cost (in dollars)

of an ice cream cone that has x scoops of ice cream. How much does an ice cream cone with five scoops cost?

Cost of ice cream cone with five scoops is $ 4.5

Solution:

Given that ice Green stand uses that expression 2 + 0.5x to determine the cost (in dollars) of an ice cream cone that has x scoops of ice cream

The given expression to find total cost of icecream is:

cost = 2 + 0.5x

Where "x" is the number of scoops of ice cream

To find the cost of ice cream with five scoops, substitute x = 5 in given equation

cost = 2 + 0.5 (5)

cost = 2 + 2.5

cost = 4.5

Thus cost of ice cream cone with five scoops is $ 4.5
