Question

While he was at the grocery​ store, Raymond purchased a box of candy for himself. On the way back to the​ dorm, he ate 1/2 of the candy. As he was putting away the​ groceries, he ate 1/3 of what was left. There are now 2 chocolates left in the box. How many chocolates were in the box to begin​ with?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 chocolates

Step-by-step explanation:

If there was 2 chocolates left and he had just eaten a third that would mean he had eaten 1

That would mean there would have been three chocolates before he put away the groceries

Double that to make up for the chocolates eaten during the walk home = 6

Answer 2

6 chocolate

the hint is he ate 1/3
