Answer 1

Hi,

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Let}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{chocolates}\mathrm{with}\mathrm{Priyanka}\mathrm{and}\mathrm{Amisha}\mathrm{has}\mathrm{x}\mathrm{and}\mathrm{y}\mathrm{respectively} \\ \mathrm{So}\mathrm{according}\mathrm{to}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{question}, \\ \mathrm{x}+8=\frac{3}{4}\left(\mathrm{y}-8\right) \\ 4\mathrm{x}+32=3\mathrm{y}-24 \\ 4\mathrm{x}-3\mathrm{y}+66=0 \end{gathered}$$
