Answer 1

Ice creams:
(1) Chocolate
(2) Vanilla
(3) Strawberry

There are three types of flavors.

45% of the ice creams are vanilla
30% of the ice creams are strawberry
x percent of the ice creams are chocolate

The total amount of ice creams is 200 that corresponds to 100%. Therefore:

45% + 30% + x = 100%

Solving for x:
x = 25%

Then the number of chocolate ice creams are:


`25\%(200) = 50`

Finally:
50 chocolate ice creams are sold
