@skelley1998 , just tell me what we have to find here, you are just written two statements, where is that Interrogative Statement I am looking for??

See, cost of one sundae is $2
and cost of one banana split is $3..

Let us assume that the shop on hot summer day sold 'x' banana split and 'y' sundaes..

Okay??

anonymous · Answer

If number of banana split sold is x, shop sold 8 sundae more than banana split that is (x+8).

So, total cost of selling sundaes = 2*(x+8)
and total cost of selling banana split = 3*x

And you are given with total cost of selling as 156.

So,

$$2(x+8) + 3x = 156$$

Can you solve it for x now??
