Question

A shop sells 200 chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice creams in a day.42 of them were vanilla, 50 were strawberry.
What percent of the ice creams were chocolate?

Answer 1

The shop sells chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice creams.

Now,

• Number of chocolate ice cream = 200
• Number of vanilla ice cream = 42
• Number of strawberry ice cream = 50

Total number of ice cream the shop sells in a day = 200 + 42 + 50

Total number of ice cream the shop sells in a day= 292

Now the percentage of chocolate ice cream is

$\bf =\dfrac{Number\ of\ chocolate\ ice\ cream}{Total\ number\ of\ ice\ cream} \times 100$

$\bf =\dfrac{200}{292} \times 100$

= 68.49%

Hence,

The per cent of ice creams were chocolate is 68.42%

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

• A shop sells 200 chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice-cream in a day.
• 42 of them were vanilla, 50 were strawberry.

To Find :-

• What percent of the ice-cream were chocolate.

Solution :-

Given :

• Total number of Chocolate = 200
• Total number of Vanilla = 42
• Total number of Strawberry = 50

First, we have to find the total number of ice-cream does shopkeeper sells :

$\implies \sf Total\: no\: of\: ice-cream =\: Chocolate\: +\: Vanilla\: +\: Strawberry$

$\implies \sf Total\: no\: of\: ice-cream =\: 200 + 42 + 50$

$\implies \sf Total\: no\: of\: ice-cream =\: 242 + 50$

$\implies \sf\bold{\green{Total\: no\: of\: ice-cream =\: 292}}$

Hence, the total number of ice-cream is 292 .

Now, we have to find the percentage of the ice-cream were Chocolate :

As we know that :

$\longmapsto \sf\boxed{\bold{\pink{Total\: \%\: of\: chocolate\: ice-cream =\: \dfrac{Number\: of\: Chocolate\: ice-cream}{Total\: no\: of\: ice-cream} \times 100}}}$

Given :

• Number of Chocolate ice-cream = 200
• Total no of ice-cream = 292

According to the question by using the formula we get,

$\implies \sf Total\: \%\: of\: chocolate\: ice-cream =\: \dfrac{200}{292} \times 100$

$\implies \sf Total\: \%\: of\: chocolate\: ice-cream =\: \dfrac{\cancel{20000}}{\cancel{292}}$

$\implies \sf\bold{\red{Total\: \%\: of\: chocolate\: ice-cream =\: 68.49\: \%}}$

$\therefore$ The total percentage of Chocolate ice-cream is 68.49%.
