The three friends had meals worth 10 * 3 = <<10*3=30>>30 dollars

If they paid for the meals only, they would have remained with 45 - 30 = <<45-30=15>>15 dollars.

Dividing the remaining amount by the number of ice cream scoops gives 15/3 = <<15/3=5>>5 dollars.

Each scoop of ice cream cost 5 dollars

Elisa and her two friends went out to dinner. Each of them ordered a meal worth $10. Afterwards, they each had a scoop of the same kind of ice cream. If the $45 Elisa had was enough to pay for everything, what was the cost of a scoop of ice cream?
