The amount of sales of single scoop ice cream cones the summer as(c) varies directly with the number of customers c twelve customers bought a total of $ 54 worth of ice cream cones which equation can be used to find the ice cream sales for c customers

a) s(c)= 648c
b) s(c)= 4.5c
c) s(c)= 4.5/c
d) s(c)= 648/c

B) S(c)= 4.5c

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, S(c) represents the sales of ice cream ( in dollars ) for c customers.

∵ Sales of ice cream varies directly with the number of customers,

That is,

S(c) ∝ c

⇒ S(c) = kc ------(1),

Where, k is proportionality constant.

Now, 12 customers bought a total of $ 54 worth of ice cream cones,

i.e. S(c) = 54 if c = 12

From equation (1),

Again by equation (1),

The required equation would be,

S(c) = 4.5c

i.e. OPTION B is correct.
