Answer 1

Answer:

400

Let the chocolate he had be X

he gave 25% to Iqbal and 15%to samuel.

Total chocolate left is 60%

So 60% of X = 240

so x= 240*100/60 = 400

So originally he had 400 chocolates

Answer 2

Answer:

400 chocolates

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is total Chocolate.

Total chocolate = Iqbal + Samuel + Remaining

x = 25% of x + 15% of x + 240

$x = \frac{25x}{100} + \frac{15x}{100} + 240$

$x = \frac{1x}{4} + \frac{3x}{20} + 240$

$x - \frac{x}{4} - \frac{3x}{20} = 240$

Taking LCM on L.H.S

$\frac{20x - 5x - 3x}{20} = 240$

12x = 240 X 20

12x = 4800

x = 4800/12

x = 400 chocolate
