So, if Ms. Leong had x scoops of vanilla ice cream before she sold any, and she sold 1/2 of the ice cream and had 30 scoops left, she had an original 60 scoops of  vanilla ice cream. Same with chocalate, y scoops, sold 3/4, and has 20 scoops of chocalate left, then she had original 80 scoops. 60+80=140
So, 140 scoops of icecream total.
