Video Summary

The problem involves determining the initial amount of money in a drawer at an ice cream shop. After selling 6 cones, there are $70, and after selling 16 cones, there are $120. The difference in the amounts reveals that 10 cones cost $50, making each cone $5. Calculating from the $70 after 6 cones, $30 stems from sales, indicating $40 initially. Additionally, verifying with 16 cones and $120, $80 from sales also confirms $40 at the start. Thus, the correct answer is C: there were $40 initially in the drawer.
