Solution

The correct option is C 30 chocolates
Assume that the number of chocolates in each box is p.
p= Total number of chocolates ÷ Number of boxes
=150÷5
Let’s use the area model method for this division by splitting the number 150 as 50+50+50.

p=150÷5=30
Therefore, each box will have 30 chocolates.

Hence, option A is correct.
