Ivan operates an ice cream stand in the summertime, selling exclusively chocolate, vanilla and strawberry cones. On a recent afternoon, the ratio of chocolate to vanilla to strawberry cones sold by Ivan was 6:3:2. How many cones did Ivan sell on that afternoon?

1) Ivan sold 24 vanilla cones.
2) Ivan sold twice as many chocolate cones as vanilla cones.

1) Ivan sold 24 vanilla cones.
2) Ivan sold twice as many chocolate cones as vanilla cones.

OA A
Chocolate : Vanilla : Strawberry = 6 : 3 : 2
Total = ?

Statement 1: \(\frac{3}{11} \cdot\) Total \(= 24 \Rightarrow\) Total \(= 88\). Sufficient \(\Large{\color{green}\checkmark}\)

Statement 2: Chocolate : Vanilla \(= 2 : 1 \Rightarrow\) Doesn't add anything to the already available information. Not sufficient \(\Large{\color{red}\chi}\)

Therefore, A is the correct answer.
