Answer: there were 12 chocolates in each box. (Originally, before any got eaten)
Step-by-step explanation: let x represent the total amount of chocolates in each box.
8x - 3(8) = 72
8x - 24 = 72 add 24 to both sides
8x = 96 divide both sides by 8
X = 12
Answer:
That means you had 48 chocolates in each box
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you eat 3 chocolates from all 8 boxes, you do this:
8 x 3 which = 24
Now since you have 72 chocolates left you do this:
72 - 24 which = 48
So, therefore, there were originally 48 chocolates in each box
(Don't eat so much chocolate lol you could get sick)
