15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of kinds of ice-cream cones ( sugar cones, cake cones and waffle cones)=3

The number of flavors of ice-creams =5

By using the fundamental principle of counting , we have

The number of possible cone/ice cream combinations can be ordered will be :-

Hence, the number of possible cone/ice cream combinations can be ordered =15

x/3-10=8

x/3=18

x=48

answer: x=60
