Solution
The correct option is B 7 Total number of chocolates = 52
Number of chocolates given to Ashley's mother = 4
Number of chocolates left with Ashley = 52 - 4
= 48
Number of chocolates in each box = 7
Number of boxes required = 48 ÷ 7
So, Ashley will require 6 boxes and still 6 chocolates will be left.
For the 6 chocolates also Ashley will require 1 box.
Thus, in total Ashley requires 7 boxes to pack all the chocolates.
