Solving the Question

Let's first assign variables to the numbers given.

• Let the number of vanilla cones be x and the number of chocolate cones be y.

We're given:

• 
  `x+y=367`
• 
  `x=y+95`

Plug the second equation into the first one and solve for y:

`x+y=367\\(y+95)+y=367\\2y+95=367\\2y=272\\y=136`

Therefore, they sold 136 chocolate cones.

Answer

They sold 136 chocolate ice cream cones.
