Answer: 13 people (I think)

Step-by-step explanation:

I didn't use a set equation to solve the problem, but I added 1+2+3+4... (and so on) until I got a number that was over 100. When I got to 14, the number reached 105, meaning that 13 people were able to get the number of chocolates that they desired. The fourteenth person was short 5 chocolates.

Please feel free to ask me any further questions you have! Have a wonderful day!
