Answer 1

Answer:

32 chocolates.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of chocolates in the packet: y

4/4 - 3/4 = 1/4

1/4 x 1/4 = 1/8

Chocolates distributed to teachers: y/8

y - (3y/4 + y/8) = 4

y - (6y/8 + y/8) = 4

y - (7y/8) = 4

8y/8 - 7y/8 = 4

y/8 = 4

y = 8 x 4

y = 32

So, there were 32 chocolates in the packet at first.
