Question

On Rocky's birthday, his brother gifted him a pack of 135 chocolates, and his sister gifted him a pack of 180 Swiss chocolates. He ate a total of 126 chocolates. Find the number of chocolates left with him now.

• A. 315
• B. 305
• C. 189
• D. 289

Answer 1

The correct option is C 189

Number of chocolates gifted by his brother = 135

Number of Swiss chocolates gifted by his sister = 180

Total number of chocolates received as gift = Sum of chocolates gifted by his brother and sister

Let's add 135 and 180 using vertical addition.

The total number of chocolates he received as gift is 315.

It is given that he ate 126 of these chocolates.

To get the total number of chocolates he's left with, we need to subtract the number of chocolates he ate from the total number of chocolates.

Let's subtract 126 from 325 using vertical subtraction.

Therefore, the total number of chocolates he is left with is 189.
