The Binary Ice Cream Shoppe sells two flavours, vanilla and chocolate. On Friday, the ratio of vanilla cones sold to chocolate cones sold was 2 : 3. If the store had sold 4 more vanilla cones, the ratio of vanilla cones sold to chocolate cones sold would have been 3 : 4. How many vanilla cones did the store sell on Friday ?

Read Solution (Total 3)

its 32 vanilla..

consider 2x and 3x to be total..

2x+4/3x = 3/4 on solving we get x = 16.

now on friday vanilla sold are 2x = 2 * 16 = 32..

Let v be the vanilla and c be the chocolates sold...
V/C=2/3=>3v=2c=>c=3v/2
and also V+4/C=3/4=>4v+12=3c
>4v+16=3*3v/2
>8v+32=9v
>v=32

ratio of venila ,chocolate = 2:3
x is the variable
=2x:3x
if 4 more sold ratio =3:4

from this two ratios 2x+4/3 =3/4

8x+16=9x
x=16

16 venila cones sold on friday
