Step-by-step explanation:

Number of chocolates gives to Joseph = 30

Percentage of chocolates given to Joseph = 15%

Let the number of chocolates be 'x'.

According to question, it becomes,

\begin{gathered}\dfrac{15}{100}\times x=30\\\\0.15x=30\\\\x=\dfrac{30}{0.15}\\\\x=200\end{gathered}

100

15

×x=30

0.15x=30

x=

0.15

30

x=200

Hence, there are 200 chocolates that she have previously.
