Responses
A 114114
B 7676
C 5454
D 30
To find the number of plain glazed doughnuts, we need to subtract the number of doughnuts with chocolate icing, white icing with sprinkles, and pink icing from the total number of doughnuts.
Total doughnuts = 12 dozen x 12 = 144
Number of doughnuts with chocolate icing = 38
Number of doughnuts with white icing with sprinkles = 14
Number of doughnuts with pink icing = 16
Number of plain glazed doughnuts = 144 - 38 - 14 - 16 = 76
Therefore, the answer is B) 76.
