Answer: he took 60 grapes to school

Explanation:

you just have to think about this. if you have given a friend 15 grapes and you are left with 45. So, for you to have 45 left you must have left home with 60 grapes.

Mathematically, lets represent how many he brought to school with x

15+45=x

X= 60
