Prompt

A group of students purchase ice cream cones and ice cream sundaes. The cones cost

$1.40

each, and the cost for

19

sundaes is

$64.60

. The total cost for the cones and sundaes is

$85.60

. Which equation represents this situation, where

x

is the number of cones purchased and

y

is the number of sundaes purchased?

1.40 x + 64.60 y = 85.60

64.60 x + 1.40 y = 85.60

3.40 x + 1.40 y = 85.60

1.40 x + 3.40 y = 85.60
