Answer 2

Given the matrix that shows the numbers of ice cream cones sold at an ice cream shop one day as follows

Choco Vanilla Mint Strawberry
Single cone 84 61 33 40
Double cone 68 93 27 15

From the matrix it can be seen that the total number of vanilla cones sold is given by 61 + 93 = 154 out of which 93 were double cones.
