Question

Kiara and Diana went to an ice-cream parlor for Diana's promotion party. The bar chart below shows the cost of 1 scoop of each ice-cream flavor in dollars.
Find the total amount spent on the party by Diana if the table below shows the number and flavor of the scoops ordered by the girls.

Answer 1

Price of 1 scoop for each flavor:

$\text{Vanilla =}\$5$
$\text{Mint-chocolate =}\$8$
$\text{Strawberry =}\$6$
$\text{Butterscotch =}\$12$
$\text{Black currant =}\$9$

Kiara's bill:

$\text{2 scoops of vanilla}=2\times 5=\$10$
$\text{2 scoops of mint-chocolate}=2\times 8=\$16$
$\text{1 scoop of butterscotch}=\$12$

$\text{Kiara's total bill}=\$10+\$16+\$12=\$38$

Diana's order:

$\text{3 scoops of strawberry}=3\times 6=\$18$
$\text{1 scoop of black currant}=\$9$
$\text{Diana's total bill}=\$18+\$9=\$27$

$\text{Total amount spent}=\$38+\$27=\$65$

Thus, Diana spent $65 on her promotion party.
