Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break it down:

  • We need to remove the third of ALL the cupcakes that got Vanilla Icing. 1/3 of 30 is 10. This means you need to subtract 10 from the original 30.
  • This leaves 20 left
  • Half of the remaining 20 will get Strawberry Icing.
  • 1/2 of 20 is 10 (the amount getting Strawberry Icing)
