In Week 3, Anna sold 72 chocolate fudge bars and 24 ice-cream sandwiches.

Anna claims that because 75% of the frozen treats sold in Week 3 were
chocolate fudge bars, the chocolate fudge bars accounted for 75% of the
profit.
Is Anna correct? Justify your response with all calculations and/or
explanations necessary to support your answer.

Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

(Since the price of neither frozen treat is mentioned)

The number of chocolate fudge bars sold accounts for 75% of the total frozen treats sold. Now, if the price of a chocolate fudge bar and ice-cream sandwich are the same, then Anna's statement will be true. Otherwise, if the prices are different, then it is not true.
