Ashop sells chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice creams. 45% of the ice creams sold are vanilla, and 1/4 are strawberry. what percentage are chocolate? show me your work

Step-by-step explanation:

Total percentage = 100%

And we know that proportions of Vanilla +chocolate +strawberry = 100%

Proportion of Vanilla = 45%

Proportion of Strawberry = 1/4  *100 = 25%

Let proportion of chocolate be represented by variable C;

So, 45% +25% + C = 100%

65% +C = 100%

Subtract 65% from both sides to solve for C;

C=100% - 65%

C = 35%

Therefore there is 35% of chocolate  in the shop.

tickets for the harlem globetrotters

show at michigan state university in

2010 cost $16, $23, or, for vip seats, $40.

total revenue = 16x + 23y + 40z

if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, sales of all three kinds of tickets would

total $46,575.

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575, how many of each kind of ticket would

have been sold?

solve for x, y and z

x − 9z = 0

x − y − z = 55

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575

x = 1170

y = 985

z = 130

welcome!

1 x=22.52

2: 65/39=604+39x

65x-39x=604

26x=604

x=604/26

×=23.23
