Answer:

120 milkshakes was sold that day.

Explanation:

There are mistakes in the question, so below is the corrected one:


An\ ice\ cream\ shop\ sold\ 48\ vanilla\ milkshakes\ in\ a\ day,\ which\ was\ 40\%
of\ the\ total\ number\ of\ milkshakes\ sold\ that\ day.
What\ was\ the\ total\ number\ of\ milkshakes\ that\ the\ ice\ cream\ shop\ sold \ that \ day\ ?

Now, to find the total number of milkshakes that the ice cream shop sold that day.

Let the total number of milkshakes sold that day be
x.

Number of vanilla milkshakes = 48.

Rate of vanilla milkshakes of the total number of milkshakes = 40%.

Now, putting an equation to get the total number of milkshakes:


40\%\ of\ x=48


(40)/(100) * x=48


0.40* x=48


0.40x=48

Dividing both sides by 0.40 we get:


x=120.

Thus, the total number of milkshakes that the ice cream shop sold was 120.

Therefore, 120 milkshakes was sold that day.
