Answer:
If the Aavin Ice Cream parlor sold 200 blocks of ice cream on 31st December and the ratio of chocolate ice cream blocks sold to other ice cream blocks sold was 4:1, then the total number of chocolate ice cream blocks sold on that day was 160
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
The number of blocks of ice cream sold by the Aavin Ice Cream parlor on the 31st of December = 200
The ratio of chocolate ice cream blocks to the other ice cream blocks sold=4:1
That is if 4x number of chocolate ice cream blocks were sold, then x number of other ice-cream blocks were sold on that day
Total number of ice cream blocks sold= Number of chocolate ice cream blocks sold+ number of other ice cream blocks sold
That is, 200 = 4x+x
200= 5x
x= 200/5 = 40
Number of chocolate ice cream blocks sold = 4x = 4*40 = 160
Therefore 160 chocolate ice cream blocks were sold on that day.
