Answer 1

The number of chocolate ice creams sold is 50.

How many chocolate ice creams are sold?​

There exist three kinds of flavors.

45% of the ice creams exist as vanilla

30% of the ice creams exist as strawberry

x percent of the ice creams exist chocolate

The total amount of ice cream exists 200 which equals 100%.

Therefore,

45% + 30% + x = 100%

To estimate the value of x, bring the variable to the left side and bring all the remaining values to the right side. Simplify the values to estimate the result.
