thre is a chocolate store..in that 1 chocolate cost Rs.1...they will give one free chocolate for giving 3 chocolate wrappers..
if i have Rs.15..how much chocolates would i get??
explain ur answer.
excellent catherine...you will get the 10pts
 
22

1 chocolate = Rs. 1 ---> 15 chocolate =Rs.15
15 wrappers / 3 wrappers = 5 chocolate
after eating the 5 chocolate you would leave with 5 wrappers and you can 1 free chocolate out of that and leave over with three wrappers (the remainin two and the free one) Trade that in for a free and you would have one wrapper left.

Altogether you have gotten 15 + 5 + 1 + 1 =22 chocolates
 
buy 15
give in wrappers and get 5
give in wrappers and get 1
give in wrappers and get 1

15 add 5 add 1 add 1
 
22...

You buy 15.
You get 5 free chocolates for 15 wrappers. (Subtotal 20)
You cash in 3 wrappers from the 5 free chocolates to get one free (Subtotal 21)
You cash in the remaining 3 wrappers to get your final free chocolate.

Total = 22
 
20 chocolates. You can buy fifteen which means you can give three wrappers five times which gives you five more. 15 + 5 = 20.
