A large waffle cone costs $2.06 dollars more than a
sugar cone. The sugar cone is 1.56.
What is the cost of the waffle cone?

The waffle cone is $3.62.

First, say what your variables are.

w = large waffle cone

s = sugar cone

Next, create two equations given the data in the word problem.

Because you have what the sugar cone is valued at, replace the s in the first equation with 1.56 and solve.
