    Answer: 12 cupcakes will get chocolate frosting

    Step-by-step explanation: John started with 30 cupcakes and spresd mint icing on 1/5 of these. That means he did the following

    Mint icing = 30 x 1/5

    Mint icing = 6

    That leaves him with a total of 30 minus 6 cupcakes which equals 24 cupcakes.

    Next he spreads chocolate icing on half of the remaining, that is half of 24. That means he did the following;

    Chocolate icing = 24 x 1/2

    Chocolate icing = 12

    Therefore 12 cupcakes will get chocolate frosting
