Problem Analysis:


The image contains a table showing ice cream sales for three types of products (cones, sundaes, and milkshakes) over three months: June, July, and August. The task involves solving several word problems based on the data provided in the table.

Table Data:


| | June | July | August |
|---------|----------|----------|------------|
| Cones | 31 | 37 | 59 |
| Sundaes | 62 | 45 | ? |
| Milkshakes | 18 | ? | 28 |
| TOTAL | ? | 117 | 203 |

Step-by-Step Solution:



#### 1. What was the total number of ice cream sales made in June?

To find the total sales in June, we sum the sales of cones, sundaes, and milkshakes for June:
\[
\text{Total for June} = \text{Cones} + \text{Sundaes} + \text{Milkshakes}
\]
\[
\text{Total for June} = 31 + 62 + 18 = 111
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{111}
\]

#### 2. How many more ice cream sales were made in July than in June?

First, we know the total sales for July is 117 (from the table). The total sales for June is 111 (calculated above). To find how many more sales were made in July than in June:
\[
\text{Difference} = \text{Total for July} - \text{Total for June}
\]
\[
\text{Difference} = 117 - 111 = 6
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{6}
\]

#### 3. How many milkshakes were sold in July?

From the table, the total sales for July are 117. We know the sales of cones and sundaes for July:
\[
\text{Cones in July} = 37, \quad \text{Sundaes in July} = 45
\]
Let \( x \) be the number of milkshakes sold in July. Then:
\[
\text{Total for July} = \text{Cones} + \text{Sundaes} + \text{Milkshakes}
\]
\[
117 = 37 + 45 + x
\]
\[
117 = 82 + x
\]
\[
x = 117 - 82 = 35
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{35}
\]

#### 4. How many more ice cream cones were sold in August than in June?

From the table:
\[
\text{Cones in August} = 59, \quad \text{Cones in June} = 31
\]
The difference is:
\[
\text{Difference} = \text{Cones in August} - \text{Cones in June}
\]
\[
\text{Difference} = 59 - 31 = 28
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{28}
\]

#### 5. If 9 more sundaes were sold in August than both June and July combined, how many sundaes were sold in August?

First, calculate the total number of sundaes sold in June and July:
\[
\text{Sundaes in June} = 62, \quad \text{Sundaes in July} = 45
\]
\[
\text{Total sundaes in June and July} = 62 + 45 = 107
\]
According to the problem, 9 more sundaes were sold in August than in June and July combined:
\[
\text{Sundaes in August} = \text{Total sundaes in June and July} + 9
\]
\[
\text{Sundaes in August} = 107 + 9 = 116
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{116}
\]

#### 6. Which month had the fewest amount of ice cream sales?

From the table:
- Total sales in June = 111
- Total sales in July = 117
- Total sales in August = 203

Comparing these totals, June has the fewest sales.

Answer:
\[
\boxed{\text{June}}
\]

#### 7. What are 3 possible reasons why August had the highest number of sales?

Possible reasons why August had the highest number of sales could include:
1. Warmer weather: August is typically the hottest month of summer, leading to increased demand for ice cream.
2. School vacations: Many schools are on summer break in August, giving families more time to enjoy ice cream.
3. Marketing campaigns: The ice cream shop might have run special promotions or advertisements during August to boost sales.

Answer:
\[
\boxed{\text{Warmer weather, school vacations, marketing campaigns}}
\]

Final Answers:


1. \(\boxed{111}\)
2. \(\boxed{6}\)
3. \(\boxed{35}\)
4. \(\boxed{28}\)
5. \(\boxed{116}\)
6. \(\boxed{\text{June}}\)
7. \(\boxed{\text{Warmer weather, school vacations, marketing campaigns}}\)
