Question

Jason is making 30 sundaes with mint, chocolate, and vanilla ice cream. 1/5 of the sundaes are mint ice cream and 1/2 of the remaining sundaes are chocolate. The rest will be vanilla. How many sundaes will be vanilla?​

Answer 1

Hi

1/5 is mint : so 30*1/5 = 6

1/2 of what remain is chocolate : which mean (30-6) /2 = 24/2 = 12

So vanilla will be : 30-6-12 = 30-18 = 12

recap : 6 mint, 12 chocolate and 12 vanilla.
