To find out how many scoops of strawberry ice cream were sold, we first need to interpret the data provided. The numbers seem to indicate ratios of sales for each flavor.
Assuming the ratios of sales for each flavor are as follows:
- Cookies and cream: 1
- Vanilla: 1
- Strawberry: 1
- Rocky road: 1
- Chocolate: 1
This makes a total of 5 parts (1 for each flavor).
Given that the ice cream shop served a total of 88 scoops, we can calculate how many scoops correspond to each flavor. Since each flavor is represented equally in the sales ratio:
Total parts = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5 parts
To find out how many scoops are in each part:
\[
\text{Scoop per part} = \frac{\text{Total scoops}}{\text{Total parts}} = \frac{88}{5} = 17.6
\]
However, since the number of scoops cannot be a fraction, it seems like there was an oversight in calculating the ratios.
If there's another context needed to determine the correct quantities of each flavor sold, please provide that, as it appears that they must be integers. Given equal distribution across the flavors:
\[
\text{Scoop of Strawberry} = 1 \, (\text{part}) \times 17.6 \, \text{(scoops per part)}
\]
In a practical scenario, we'd expect the ratios or parts to round to whole numbers, so please check back to the original data context for any discrepancies or specific numbers.
If the numbers indicating the ratio are indeed counts rather than multiples, we'd adjust our approach. Typically, in problems like this, summing up the individual flavor counts against total scoops gives the multiplier effect for actual counts.
If you provide more clarity on how the counts are meant to be interpreted—be it absolute counts or relative proportions—we can better ascertain the exact scoop count for strawberry.
