1. Identify the problem: Determine the cost of a double dip ice cream cone at The Big Dipper ice cream store.

2. Gather information: The store charges 25 cents for a cone and 75 cents for each scoop of ice cream added.

3. Create options: The customer can choose to have one scoop or two scoops of ice cream added to their cone.

4. Evaluate options: In this case, we need to evaluate the cost of a double dip ice cream cone. So, we need to calculate the cost of a cone and two scoops of ice cream.

5. Make a decision: The customer will pay 25 cents for the cone and 75 cents for each scoop of ice cream, totaling 2 scoops. Therefore, the customer will pay 25 cents + (75 cents x 2 scoops) = $<<25+(75*2)=175>>1.75 for a double dip ice cream cone.
