Answer 1

I don't see the matrix you mention — could you paste the numbers or an image of it?

Meanwhile, here's how to get the answer once you have the matrix:

1. Find the two entries for vanilla: the number of single vanilla cones (S) and the number of double vanilla cones (D).
2. Compute the percent of vanilla cones that were double: percent = 100 × D / (S + D).
3. Round that result to the nearest percent.

If you post the matrix (or just the S and D values) I will compute the rounded percent for you.
