Answer:

Number of Small Cones Sold=22

Number of Large Cones Sold=34

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose,

Number of Small Cones Sold: s

Number of Large Cones Sold: l

For the condition that, larges cones sold were 12 more than small ones, equation would be

[tex]s-l=12....................................... (i)[/tex]

and for the total revenue condition of $163

[tex]2*s+3.5*l=163.........................(ii)[/tex]

By solving equation (i) and (ii) simultaneously, we get

s=22

and

l=34

Hence, small cones sold would be 22 and large cones sold would be 34.
