An ice cream shop charges customers a set amount for one scoop of ice cream, plus a charge per topping. If two toppings would cost a total of $3.99, and 4 toppings $4.99, what is the rate per topping?

Respuesta :

50 cent per topping is the answer

Answer:

$0.50 per topping

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2t = 3.99

x + 4t = 4.99

x + 2t = 3.99

2t = 3.99 - x

t = 1.995 - 0.5x

x + 4t = 4.99

x + 4(1.995 - 0.5x) = 4.99

x + 7.98 - 2x = 4.99

7.98 - x = 4.99

-x = -2.99

x = 2.99

t = 1.995 - 0.5(2.99)

t = 1.995 - 1.495

t = 0.50
