Answer:

7 cones of 1 scoop ice cream were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

A total of 15 scoops were sold .

Let x be the number of 2 scoop ice cream and y be the number of 1 scoop ice cream

Then

15= 2x+ y---- eq. 1

There were 11 cones sold.

and x+ y = 11--- eq.2

11-x= y

15= 2x+ y  

Putting value of y from eq.2 in eq. 1

15= 2x + 11-x

15= x+11

15- 11= x

x= 4

There will be 2*4=8 scoops  for 4 cones

ie 4 cones of two scoops ice creams will be sold.

11- 4= 7 cones

and 7 scoops for 7 cones
