Answer:

2 scoops

Step-by-step explanation:

the flat fee is $4.00. 4+1.25=5.25. You have $6.75 to spend, so you can probably add on another scoop. 5.25+1.25=6.5. I was correct. To simplify, two scoops of ice cream without the cone is $2.50, but you will probably have a cone with your ice cream so that adds on $4.00. $4.00+$2.50=$6.50 and that is the max amount of ice cream scoops and cones since you cannot go over your budget.
