Your mom gave you $10 to go to the store to get ice cream. You bring the ice cream home and $4.71 in change. How much did the ice cream cost?

To find out how much the ice cream cost, we can subtract the amount of change you brought home from the $10 your mom gave you.

\[
\text{Cost of ice cream} = 10 - 4.71 = 5.29
\]

So, the ice cream cost **$5.29**.
