Answer:
1000
Step-by-step explanation:
let the no. of chocolates be x
original scene , chocolate each child gets=x/125.
when 25 children are absent total 100 children are present.
us, each child will get 2 chocolate extra and chocolate each child gets =x/100.
equation becomes
x/100=(x/125)+2
x/100=(x+250)/125
125x=100x+25000
25x=25000
x=1000
thus,1000 chocolates were there for celebration
