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.

only 10/60 isn't equivalent
