Question

A shop sells chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream cones. In one day, 45% of the ice cream cones sold are vanilla and 17% are strawberry. If 2,500 ice cream cones were sold on that same, hot summer night, how many chocolate ice cream cones were sold?

Answer 1

Answer:

950

Step-by-step explanation:

As, 45% will be vanilla, and 17% will be strawberry

So chocolate will be = 38%

As, 45%+17%+38% = 100%

So 38% of 2,500 = chocolate cones

= 38/100 x 2,500 = 950

So the number chocolate ice cream cone sold is 950.
