Answer:

The are 30 chocolates in the box.

Explanation:

Since there are 2 white chocolates for every plain chocolate in a box of chocolates, and there are no chocolates of any other color in the box, and there are 10 plain chocolates in the box, to determine how many chocolates are there in the box altogether the following calculation must be performed:

10 + (2 x 10) + 0 = X

10 + 20 + 0 = X

30 = X

Therefore, there are 30 chocolates in the box.
