Answer 1

To find out how many chocolate ice creams are sold, subtract the percentages of vanilla and strawberry ice creams from 100%. 30% of the ice creams sold are chocolate, which totals to 30 chocolate ice creams.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many chocolate ice creams are sold, we need to subtract the percentages of vanilla and strawberry ice creams from 100%.

Given that 40% of the ice creams sold are vanilla and 30% are strawberry, the percentage of chocolate ice creams can be found by subtracting the vanilla and strawberry percentages from 100%:

100% - 40% - 30% = 30%

Therefore, 30% of the ice creams sold are chocolate. To calculate the actual number of chocolate ice creams sold, we can multiply 30% by the total number of ice creams:

30% × 100 = 30

So, 30 chocolate ice creams are sold.

Answer 2

30

Step-by-step explanation:

• 100%=100 chocolates
• 40%+30% (ice creams+Vanilla )=70%
• 70%-100%=30%
• 30%of total number of chocolates sold (100)

• 30 / 100×100 =30
