300 cookies were ordered to start.
We can tell this because we know 12% is equal to 36. Because this is true, we can set up a proportion to solve. All proportions can be set up with the small number on top and the total on the bottom. This will help you solve for the missing number, which is in this case the total number of cookies. Let x be the total number of cookies.
Percentage/total percentage = cookies/cookies total
12/100 = 36/x
Now we can cross multiply to solve.
(100)(36) = (12)(x) ----> multiply
3600 = 12x ---> divide by 12
300 = x

Answer:
a. 19
b. 14
Step-by-step explanation:
From the venn diagram, we see that:
9 children like only Vanilla
7 like vanilla and chocolate
12 like only chocolate, and
2 like neither chocolate nor vanilla
Thus:
a. Number of children that liked Chocolate ice-cream = those that like chocolate only + those that like both chocolate and vanilla = 12 + 7 = 19
19 children like chocolate ice-cream.
b. Number of children who do not like Vanilla ice-cream = those that like chocolate only + those that do not like neither chocolate nor vanilla = 12 + 2 = 14
14 children do not like vanilla ice-cream.
