Question

If $*****$ represents $30$ chocolates, what does $***$ represent?

Answer 1

Step 1: Find how many chocolates does $*$ represents

It is given that $*****$$=30$ chocolates

$\Rightarrow$ $5\times *$ $=30$

$\Rightarrow$ $*$ $=30÷5$

$\Rightarrow$ $*$ $=6$

Step 1: Find how many chocolates does $***$ represents

$\Rightarrow$ $*\times 3$ $=6\times 3$ ( Multiplying $3$ on both sides)

$\Rightarrow$ $***$$=18$

Hence, $***$ represents $18$ chocolates.
