48 ice-creams are placed on a table. Some are chocolate flavored and others are vanilla flavored. If a person takes an ice-cream at random from the table, the probability that it is chocolate flavored is 23. Find the number of vanilla flavored ice-creams on the table.
16
We know that probability of picking a chocolate flavoured ice-cream will be Number of favourable outcomes(chocolate flavoured icecreams)Total number of ice−creams
Let the number of chocolate flavoured ice-creams be x.
= x48 = 23
Solving for x we get 32 .
It implies that there are 32 chocolate flavored ice-cream out of 48
Hence the number of Vanilla flavored ice-creams on the table are 48 - 32 = 16
