To find the number of ice cream cones that were sold, we need to find the ratio of ice cream cones to brownies.
The ratio of ice cream cones to brownies is 5:3.
If we let x be the number of ice cream cones sold, we can set up the following equation:
5/3 = x/24
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
3x = 5 * 24
3x = 120
Dividing both sides by 3:
x = 40
Therefore, there were 40 ice cream cones sold at the ice cream shop.
