Answer:

$1.75  cost of the funnel cake and $4.25 cost of the ice cream cone.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = cost of the ice cone cone

y = cost of the funnel cake

3x + 4y = 19.75      multiply (-2)       ⇔     -6x - 8y = -39.50

5x + 8y = 35.25    do not change   ⇔  +  5x + 8y = 35.25

                                                                     -x  =  -4.25

                                                                      x = 4.25  cost of the ice cream cone

Substitute into the second equation x = 4.25 and solve  for y

5(4.25) + 8y = 35.25

21.25 + 8y = 35.25

  8y = 14

y = 1.75    cost of the funnel cake
