Here's a Summertime Math Challenge for those of you who live in the Northern hemisphere!

Title: The Ice Cream Extravaganza

This summer, Alex decided to set up an ice cream stand in their neighborhood to earn some extra money. Alex sells three flavors of ice cream: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. Here’s the price list:

Chocolate: $2 per scoop
Vanilla: $1.50 per scoop
Strawberry: $1.75 per scoop
One sunny afternoon, Alex sold a total of 50 scoops of ice cream. The sales from chocolate ice cream alone totaled $40. Alex sold twice as many scoops of vanilla ice cream as strawberry ice cream.

How many scoops of each flavor did Alex sell?
