Ronnie bought six ice cream cones for himself and his friends $.17 tax was added to the price of each coin the total cost was $14.58 what was the price of a cone before tax

The  price for one cone before tax is $2.26.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tax for each cone is $.17

Ronnie buys six cones. The total tax for the cones is 6 X $.17 = $1.02

Next, we subtract the total taxes from the total price $14.58 - $1.02 = $13.56

So Ronnie owed $13.56 for the six cones BEFORE taxes. We takes this amount and divide it by six to get the cost for one cone.

$13.56 / 6 = $2.26 per cone.

Check our work

Purchase one cone for $2.26 plus $.17 cents tax = $2.43 total cost per cone.

6 cones at $2.43 each would be 6 X $2.43 = $14.58.

This matches the total bill from the story problem.
