15 chocolate = 15 dollars 15 wraps = 5 more chocolates, totalling 20. 3 wraps from those extra 5 wraps gives an additional chocolate, giving a total of 21 chocolate. This latest wrap plus the 2 extra wrap gives one more chocolate, giving a grand total of 22 chocolates 40 Likes |

You get just 20 Forget about the two wraps that don't count. They don't open chocolates and sell half. As a thinker, you should observe that. OP if you see a question mean for Geniuses, I guess you will faint. 1 Like 1 Share |

Prinq:Mathematically, 1 chocolate = $1; 3 wrappers = 1 chocolate. but 3 wrappers = 1 chocolate. therefore, 3wrappers = $1. Hence I can get 3×15 chocolate. Which is 45 chocolates. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Listen up wanna be geniuses
If you have $15 and 1 chocolate goes for $1
Then with $15 you can buy 15 chocolates
Out of these 15 chocolates you will be able to get 15 wrappers.
We know that
3 wrappers = 1 chocolate
Therefore 15 wrappers = 15/3 = 5 chocolates So with the entire information and with $15 you will get. 15+5 = 20 chocolates in total. Fin! |

Since 1 chocolate= $1 , $15 will get you 15 chocolates.... 3 wrappers can get u 1 chocolate and u have a total of 15 wrappers from the 15 chocolates bought initially, so 15/3= 5 chocolates.....you can then take 3 out of the 5 wrappers leaving you with 2 wrappers to get 1 more chocolate, the 2 wrappers left in addition to the wrapper of the last chocolate gotten will get u 1 more chocolate.... Therefore, the total number of chocolate gotten= 15+5+1+1= 22 chocolates |

you guys got it wrong, you will only have 15 chocolates, reason you have 15$, you don't exchange what you haven't bought. after it's been sold to you, the transaction ends, you have to have another 15$ to get the privileges, the extra chocolates is after you have done the first transaction, which literally means the extras comes at the second transaction.
