Answer 1

Given the matrix that shows the numbers of ice cream cones sold at an ice cream shop one day as follows

                            Choco          Vanilla          Mint          Strawberry
Single cone            84                  61              33                  40
Double cone           68                  93              27                  15

From the matrix it can be seen that the total number of vanilla cones sold is given by 61 + 93 = 154 out of which 93 were double cones.

Therefore, the percent of vanilla cones sold that were double cones is given by

$\frac{93}{154} \times100\%\approx60\%$
