Question

$114\text{chocolates}$ are equally placed in $6\text{boxes}$. How many chocolates are there in each box?

• A. $19\text{chocolates}$
• B. $21\text{chocolates}$
• C. $15\text{chocolates}$
• D. $20\text{chocolates}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $19\text{chocolates}$

Let us write a multiplication equation to find the number of chocolates in each box.

Total number of chocolates $=114$

Number of boxes $=6$

Total number of chocolates = Number of boxes $\times$ Number of chocolates in each box

Let us take the number of chocolates in each box as $“s”$.
Therefore, $114=6\times s$
Hence, $114÷6=s$
60 54 \( 660=10 \quad 54=6=9 \) \( 10+9=19 \) Therefore, \( 114 \div 6=19 \)$s=19$

$19\text{chocolates}$ are placed in each box.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
