In an ice cream shop there is some money in a drawer. After 6 ice creams were sold, there were 70 euros left in the drawer. After a total of 16 ice creams were sold, there were 120 euros left in the drawer. How many euros were there in the drawer at the start?

There were 40 euros in the drawer at the beginning.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we subtract 6 from 16, we get 10 more ice-creams were sold.

Similarly, we subtract 70 from 120, we get 50 euros was the total selling price of 10 ice-creams.

i.e. Selling price of 1 ice-cream = (50)÷10 =5 euros

Selling price of 6 ice-creams = 6 x 5 = 30 euros

Money in the drawer at the beginning = 70-30 = 40 euros

Hence, there were 40 euros in the drawer at the beginning.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
