less chocolatey than before

In the original mixture, the ratio between the mint and the chocolate ice cream is

$3 : 4$ $3:4$

This means that the mixture is composed of

$\frac{3}{7} \approx 42.86 %$ $3/7 ~~ 42.86%$ Mint

and

$\frac{4}{7} \approx 57.14 %$ $4/7 ~~ 57.14%$ Chocolate

If we add one more scoop for each flavor, the resulting ration would be

$4 : 5$ $4:5$

The new composition would be

$\frac{4}{9} \approx 44.44 %$ $4/9 ~~ 44.44%$ Mint

$\frac{5}{9} \approx 55.56 %$ $5/9 ~~ 55.56%$ Chocolate

The new mixture of ice cream is still more chocolatey than minty. However, it is a little less chocolatey than the original mixture
