Question

What's your favorite ice cream flavor? For people who buy ice cream, the all-time favorite is still vanilla. About 21% of ice cream sales are vanilla. Chocolate accounts for only 7% of ice cream sales. Suppose that 175 customers go to a grocery store in Cheyenne, Wyoming, today to buy ice cream. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

Answer 1

The answer is Vanilla ice cream.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, the question is: What is your favorite ice cream flavor? according to the data provided, 21% of ice cream sales are vanilla. So vanilla ice cream is the favorite flavor. Then using the information provided from the question, if 175 customers buy ice cream, 21% of them buy vanilla ice cream, or 36.7499 of them and 7% of them bought chocolate flavor or 12.2499 of them.

The results are obtained like this:

175 x 21% (or 0.21) = 36.75, rounded to four decimal places = 36.7499

175 x 7% (or 0.07) = 12.25, rounded to four decimal places = 12.2499
