An ice cream shop sells sundaes for $2 and banana splits for $3. On a hot day the shop sold 8 more sundaes than banana splits and made $156 . Calculate the number of each product sold

Number of sundaes = 36

Number of banana split = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

On that day, let the number of sundaes sold be x

Now, since they sold 8 more sundaes than banana, the number of bananas sold is x-8

So the cost of sundaes sold will be 2 * x = 2x

the total cost of banana splits sold will be 3(x-8) = 3x -24

The addition of both equals 156

Hence;

2x + 3x-24 = 156

5x -24 = 156

5x = 156 + 24

5x = 180

x = 180/5

x = 36

So

number of sundaes sold is 36 while the number of bananas split sold is 36-8 = 28
